Rating: Summary: Love Is Review: "Love Is. It just is and nothing you can say can make it go away. It is the point of why we are here. It is the highest point. And when your up there looking down your there forever. Cause if you move right? U fall. U fall." This line from the movie has been in my head since I watched it. Actually last week I went and got my first tattoo. Love Is on my ankle. This is an excellent movie for anyone who has every experience heartbreak with their lesbian lover. It makes the pain not look silly or unimportant. Like how I first felt. Why be upset over a relationship with a girl?. But the pain is real and this movie protrays that. This is an awsome movie for anyone who wants to have a good cry.
Rating: Summary: Pain and Betrayal Review: Stunned, is all I can say about this film. It is truly one of the most painful (but beautiful) films I have ever watched (besides 'Savior' - another truly wonderful but hard film); whilst being both beautiful - and magnificent, it is also a true depiction of the bitter darkness and ugliness of betrayal - which would unbalance all but the most well-grounded of characters (one of the main points of the film). What can I add to the other reviewers? other than that Perabo plays Paulie to perfection. Young love is painful and euphoric enough without the burning twisting of betrayal in one's guts and heart in front of the whole world. Only the most cynical of viewers could fail to be moved by this film. The metaphor of the hawk is a nice touch - the symbolism of freedom and spirituality is something we should all be able to relate to. It is a must; and if you really want to gorge yourself in an orgy of desperate love, then watch 'When Night is Falling' along side this wonderful film. Be warned: watch this film only with your significant other!!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This movie has to be the best i have ever seen!!! It has really good acting, and a good stroy line as well. I would have liked to see it end better, but anyone who has seen this movie, probably wishes the same. I liked the movie because odf the realness of it. How the two girls act toward each other, and it shows how family can really change how people act. I just really liked this movie!!!!!! I would reccomend it to eveyone!! It is a real account on feelings, and family, and devotion!!! I LOVED IT!!!
Rating: Summary: Reflection of my life Review: I remember seeing this movie in the theatre and thinking my God did this reflect the relationship I was in at the time. I was dating someone that would never in a million years come out to her family..she eventually got married to a man. Pauline (Piper Perabo) did a magnificant job playing the heartbroken lover. She thinks that it will be forever, but forever is short lived. Mary "Mouse" or "Mary Brave" as they called her, is feeling lost between the two friends that she has found in Pauly and Tori. The movie is quite striking and full of emotion, and the ending will surprise you, it surprised me. It makes you think about the lives that we all lead and how dictates to us how to live it.
Rating: Summary: Growing Pains Review: I like to review the film, and then the DVD:Film: The first time I viewed this movie, I did not enjoy it. I had read several comments about the nature of the lesbian relationship being "true love," and about this film representing a "beautiful love story." I disagree with these statements. This film is much more about the pain of adolescence, and how different teenagers deal with that pain. The relationship in this discussion is between Paulie and Tori. Paulie is a teenager in need of serious help, on the verge of breakdown. Whether or not Paulie is a lesbian is not of relevance -- gay or straight, her love of Tori is unhealthy. Tori, although much more stable, has her own problems (including an inability to be herself with her family). The narrator, Mouse, is forced to watch the pain that these characters go through. The acting is fantastic, but I gave this film only 4 stars due to a few factors. I felt that the script, and thus the film, lagged in places. I was also not quite as interested in Mouse's family problems. They were pushed into the background so much that they may as well have been removed, saving some time and helping the pace of the film. DVD: There are essentially no features on this DVD, another one of the reasons this film didn't receive a full 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: I Became Lost & Delirious in this gem.. Review: Many filmmakers use homosexuality as a comedic reference to make a comedy laugh at a gay man who does hair, a manly lesbian, or any of the stereotypical commercial image homosexuality is presented in hollywood today. Few movies captivate a true love story revolving homosexuality and I applaud Lea Pool for doing so with much success. This movie reminds me of a Shakespeare poem, so carefully written and so beautifully recited. Piper Perabo definitly struck a cord with me for her powerful performance as the heartbroken girl who turns dark and falls into her own surreal world of delirious fake emotions. A beautifully made movie, this should've got more attention than it did. I love how Lea represented Piper's isolation by a trapped eagle that Piper is teaching how to fly, "You will fly away from here." Piper longs for that eagle to be her, hoping she can flutter easily and softly from the heavy world around her. This is one of the few movies that made me cry, actually cry because of the emotional depths that it reached. This is a true gem in filmmaking and the acting couldn't have been any better by Piper. The movie thinks and feels her character revolving around landmines of depression where a way out seems almost impossible. I applaud Lea Pool for finally making a movie about teen homosexuality and not making it something to laugh at. The image of homosexuality now is becoming grossly missunderstood. Especially to young minds who listen to these harsh words from Eminem about homosexuality being wrong. This movie represents homosexuality as beauty and love just like any true love story would be.
Rating: Summary: One of my favorite movies Review: I picked this movie up one night on a whim at the video store. I had never heard of it before, but thought it seemed interesting. The day I watched it, I knew I had to own it. I was surprised by the quality of the film, the acting, the filming, the storyline, everything about it is amazing. I recommend this movie for anyone who can appreciate a genuine love story, for anyone who has dealt with or is dealing with the issue of coming out, and for anyone who simply appreciates a quality film. Every time I watch this movie it affects me just like Romeo and Juliet affected me the first time I read it many years ago. I highly recommend this film, one of the best purchases I ever made.
