4.0 out of 5 stars Restrained Mary Lambert, but not too much so, July 9, 2002
This really is a gorgeous production and it's nice to note that the critics have been kinder to it than other Mary Lambert films ("Pet Semetary 1 and 2" and "Siesta", to name a few). Lambert is usually a flamboyant director and not afraid of wearing her influences on her sleeve (Ken Russell, Nic Roeg, etc.). But like her many mentors, Lambert is capable of showing restraint when needed and "Grand Isle" is a perfect example. Set in Louisiana at the turn of the century, "Grand Isle" is filled with excellent set design and costuming. The photography is drenched in sunlight and the sequences are framed by "fades to white". In other words, an atmospheric and ambient endeavor. The musical score is quite nice. Touches of classical piano with synthesizer washes. Other reviewers have mentioned the plot, so I won't go in to that other than mention that there are some fabulous fantasy/flash-back sequences that are lovely and thought provoking. Those looking for a classy period romance/drama will enjoy this as much as the Mary Lambert and art-house afficianados.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoy the Kate Chopin book The Awakening see this!!!, June 5, 1999
By A Customer
I love this movie. Kate Chopin is one of my favorite writers and this film is a wonderful adaptaion of the Awakening! I highly suggest this movie. It is a movie with a strong female lead and can be called a "chick flick" but it is a wonderful movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising, August 15, 2007
There's something very special about this movie; the book upon which it was based must have something to do with this. I saw it years ago--but it still resonates. One day I'll get around to reading the book+

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay for a "chick-flick" but slow-moving.
Kelly McGillis and Adrian Pasdar are both beautiful and spell-binding to watch as always. The plot is interesting but this is a very slow-moving romantic-novel type film. Read more
