Summary: More of the same
Review: Why is it that lesbians are either homicidal maniacs or suicidal neurotics? I know that this movie was made by lesbian director, Lea Pool and I want to support her efforts. However, this movie, besides having an overdone, hackneyed plot, was full of trite and affected dialogue. Ok, so I'm a realist, sue me, but I'm sorry, no one I know would who's in high school would jump on a table in full fencing regalia and recite Shakespearean soliloquy. In the end, heterosexuality wins out and the poor lesbian, being tortured as she is, must put herself out of her misery. I can't recommend this and hope that if you must see it, by all means rent it. Been there and done better than this.

Summary: OK MOVIE, HORRIBLE ACTING
Review: The film "Lost and Delirious" is a kind of film where you're watching the movie and it hurts to see such a good plot and really horrible acting. Horrible acting coming from Piper Perabo and that Mouse girl. Anyway, the story is touching and shocking but Piper is too dramatic, quoting excerpts from Shakespeare and running around like a maniac. Of course she was in love and heartbroken but did she have to be soooo dramatic? Piper Perabo is beautiful, no doubt. But her acting skills is not Oscar worthy.The film is a rental and not for the weak hearted and close minded viewer. There are some scenes where you see Piper(Paully) and Jessica(Tori)making love. But the film has a strong message... that love is greater than anything, greater than shame... and that love is powerful no matter who it is your in love with. To conclude this critique, i would like to say that this film is entertaining, powerful and very sad and if you don't like these kind of movies, skip "LOST AND DELIRIOUS" and watch "THE ADVENTURES OF TWO GIRLS IN LOVE." Your not missing anything if you do.

Summary: I Rather be Lost and Delirious than Found and Secure
Review: "Is life still worth living when passion is irretrievably gone?A passion that filled your heart until it nearly burst, a passion that you wanted to stay forever. And so you fought against convention, you tried to ignore the rigid rules of society. But it was all in vain. There was another passion in your life, the love for a falcon with injured wings, which you saved from sure death. Now it can fly again, it spreads its wings on a high roof top, hurls itself into a new destiny. And, although you know you can't follow it, you run behind your passion and leap from the roof top, too, for you know that once it's gone it will never come back and everything else won't matter. There were people in a crowded Berlin cinema, people that admired you when they saw you jump, and they understood that you didn't want to become like your old teacher, who had once lost another passion, but who tried to live on, alleviating her grief in the inexhaustible fountain of literature. Just like we all live on, somehow, somewhere, thinking about some private passion we are running after or which we might have lost at some point of the past and which is not yet buried."

Summary: Piper Perabo shines!
Review: This movie belongs to Piper Perabo. Her riveting performance of a tough, but loving school girl will prove to the world that she is one of the best young actresses today. She does a complete transformation from Coyote Ugly and is barely recognizable. The film itself is very intense and shows us how far one will go to get the one they love. Wonderful performances all around from the cast of unknowns. The movie starts off light and builds and builds to an emotional climax. The whole eagle storyline could have been dropped, but overall a wonderful film that shouldn;t be ignored, especially the brilliant performance by Piper Perabo.

Summary: What a shockingly bad film.
Review: I am into art films. I try as much as possible to avoid using such generalizing terms because it is very apparent to me that a great deal of what is out there on the indie scene really is not art at all. However, in recent years studios have sunk to new lows. Now more than ever major studios are pandering to the teen market with incredibly mediocre comedies that need only to include a scene of someone farting to gross 100 million. That said, it is easy to see how anyone who cares about film as an art form rather than just frivilous entertainment will seek stuff elsewhere. This has given rise to the "indie scene." It is exactly because indie movies tackle tough subjects and are essentially the antithesis of big Hollywood productions that they deserve seriosu attention. In the last year alone, most of my favorites were "indie" films. Amelie, Ghost World, Reykjavik 101, The Crimson Rivers, The Widow of St. Pierre are all examples of the genre doing what it does best, producing intelligent, thought provoking and still entertaining films. Unfortunately though for every genre there are going to be a number of dismal filsm. I can say without any hesitation that "Lost and Delirious" is one of the worst films in recent memory. (The Center of the World gets second prize). I don't like to make swift judgements but I honestly believe that anyone who likes this film is an idiot. Not only is it cliched (that ridiculous gardener) and dull, but it is completely bereft of any kind of artistic ingenuity. It was obviously made by some mindless feminist. Every time the film seemed to run out of gas (every three minutes) somebody would have to break down and cry while some Sarah McHlachlan hybrid girl group would be piped in. I could rant and rave about this awfulness for days but I'd rather not. Please do not see this dreadfully silly film. Terrible.

Summary: America Does It All Wrong Again....
Review: What can I say? I rented this dvd with the greatest hopes. After about half an hour I realized I was in for yet another plotless, uninspired, repressed look at teen sexuality. Politically it's a complete horror - of course the girls must all suffer for their sins. Symbolically it rises to the level of bad junior high school poetry - barely. Yes the performances all all very good. And its great to see Jackie Burroughs in anything. But for a REAL treatment of similar topics get NICO AND DANI or SHOW ME LOVE. Both show that on this subject, like most (other than mindless violence or overpriced special effects) European filmmakers are still light years ahead of us sophomoric Americans....

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: When I first heard about this movie I thought, "Cool. A lesbian love story with Piper Perabo. She is so hot." But, when I finally got around to watching it, I was blown away. I mean this is one of the most touching, romantic, and amazing films I've ever seen. The words are poetry, the actresses are amazing, and the story is so good that I can't even find words to describe it. I recomend this movie to every romantic person out there.

Summary: For the Hopeless Romantics
Review: "Make me a willow cabin at your gate, and call upon my soul within the house..." This is a line from Shakespeares, "Twelfth Night, and used by the character Paulie, played by Piper Perabo in two important scenes. Shakespeare was talking of rejected love and so is Paulie. This movie breaks your heart, but isn't that what loves does sometimes? If your tired of the pretentious and boring teen romance films that are put out by the revolving conveyor belt called Hollywood, then see this film. It drips romance, love, loss and most of all poetry. Piper Perabo is amazing, and her performance here makes you forget the uninteresting Coyote Ugly. In fact, all three girls do a great job and you walk away having cared about all of them, which is rare with so many films today.

Summary: Terrible, anti-gay ending
Review: Well, being a lesbian I am always up for watching movies about lesbians. and I thought this movie was great... that is until the ending. The story is about a new girl at a boarding school who rooms with a lesbian couple, Tori and Pualie. One day they were discovered in bed together, so Tori breaks things off and Paulie goes crazy to win her love back, and eventually kills herself. Paulie killing herself only makes the anti-gay society stronger, she let the other side win. This movie is terribly anti-gay and I would not recommend it to anyone. (...)
