Summary: Epic
Review: Such innocence, such corruption, such pain. Moving, to say the least. NOT because of it's erotic content do I rate this movie 5 stars. The story is powerful, the directing is special and unique. You will not be dissapointed.

Summary: Erotic and Sensual
Review: An absolute winner in my book. The storyline and characters are great! If you're into well made lesbian films such as "Bound", you'll appreciate this one. It's great to see a film dealing with this subject matter set in an all-girl school. What better place to experience a girl-girl affair then in an all-girl school? It's a shame though that Victoria breaks off her relationship with Pauline due to the fact that the other girls find out about their affair. So she winds up with a boy in the end which drives Pauline crazy and leads to a tragic ending. Excellent DVD!

Summary: THIS HAS 5.1 DOLBY ON IT
Review: You can get the story from the other reviews. This is a wonderfully romantic tragedy. The soundtrack and score are beautiful. The 5.1 track (although not listed on the box) is really great. I will say that this DVD is worth owning just for Piper Perabo's performance which blew me away and had me crying the first time I watched it.
... - this is an innocent romantic tragic movie that is so worth being in anyone's collection.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: When I first saw this movie, I was just flipping through HBO and there was nothing else to watch. I ended up being so into this movie that I watched it every time it came on. Piper Perabo was incredible, she had me in a whirlwind of emotion. The cast was all great and the music was perfect. Nobody I know had ever heard of Lost and Delirious until I made them watch it. This movie didn't get the recognition it deserved, Perabo's best movie by far.

Summary: Very honest and raw
Review: I really didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. I anticipated another typical teen-angst movie, especially of the "bad girl genre," but was extremely pleasantly surprised. Piper Perabo's performance was astounding and emotionally wrenching. It explained the complexities of love, and love lost, as well as how difficult it is to deal with the sociological issues of a society which sometimes tries to over-simplify homosexual relationships as based purely on sex. I definitely had to wipe a tear from my eye as the movie ended, but felt better for seeing it.

Summary: none more beautiful than this
Review: oh, dear god, how can somene create something as beautiful as this. in a wierd way i am reminded of my self and a long time love of mine, elizabeth. so this movie brought a lot of painful emotions to the surface, but is was so beautiful at the same time. i sat and stared breathlessly at the tv when the movie ended from being completely ambushed with emotion. it is definately one of the most beautiful movies that ive ever seen...and ive seen a lot of movies and have really high standards. i loved this movie to say the least

Summary: Good idea, considerably poor execution
Review: I really did like how the movie was emotional, tastefully sexual, and heart-wrenching all at the same time. However, I do think that the script could have used a bit of work. It got the message across, but not as strongly has it should have. At times it seemed like the actors were using incredibly unrealistic words to communicate to each other, and these words seemed out of context. The poetic readings were good, but could have been better. Overall, I think the movie was good and it is a decent way to spend time in front of the TV.

Summary: beautiful acting but the script needed work
Review: i just caught this movie on cable last night....i feel like it will stick with me for a time, as well. there were things in it that i thought were amazing--particularly the acting--Mischa Barton is striking--she does such an amazing job with just her eyes. Piper Perabo was really good as well, i had a hard time believing she was the same girl in Coyote Ugly. The other girl that played Tori was really good as well. The settings and the costuming and all that were great, too. The story obviously had some powerful emotional stuff to it, but the script...lacked something to me. It was like they couldn't decide between real, gritty emotion or a kind of dreamy, semi-craziness....ideally, one could have both and i think maybe they tried for it but the transition wasn't there....Paulie's decent into deep depression over her loss was acted correctly but something was off and her Shakespearian "madness" didn't seem to fit with the way the movie was filmed. Also, Mouse's self discovery could have been handled in more depth; the movie tells us about it, but we never see her journey--we never see her get sucked in to Paulie's world and then when she goes along at the end, it does seem out of place. There were loose ends with the idea of the name, the gardening, the father....and it also seemed to gloss over Paulie's demise...making it romantic when her pain was so real....

Summary: That's the same girl?
Review: I am not surprised to see Mischa Barton participating in such a deeply dramatic film as this one [her portrayal as an innocently promiscuous teenager in Skipped Parts was brilliant]but I never expected to see the star of Coyote Ugly [the perfect Hollywood movie, whether that's good or bad is all your opinion] Piper Perabo to be such a wonderfully tragic and addictive character. Although a few points remain ambiguous for me, apparently Mary B became sucked into the Raptor's world but that point seemed to only be told by the character and not by the story and when the point became clear, it seemed out of place, to me at least. Even so, the movie is great. The acting is wonderful and the story sucks you into the world of the poor heartbroken Paulie who just can't see how much she is loved. I commend Piper Perabo for her brilliant portrayal, Lea Pool for some of the most beautiful shots and storytelling I have seen, and Susan Swan for writing the story in the first place.

Summary: emotional and powerful
Review: I was channel surfing on direcTV and saw this on one of the HBO channels. Something about it kind of sucked me in. I found Paulie's love for Tori, although extreme, to be beautiful and powerful. I loved how she recited lines from Macbeth, and how at the parent dinner, she walked up to Tori wearing a suit, and asked her dad to cut in and dance with Tori. I loved the symbolism of the raven/crow whatever it is, and it overflowed with emotion. It really got me. This movie wouldn't be as powerful and wonderful as it is, without its melodrama. Give this movie a chance!
