So when it comes to lesbian romance and the movies, the bar is not high. There's way too much misery and death and not enough kissing and comedy. Which is why this movie gets two stars. Yes, production values could be better. A lot better. The acting is self-conscious. But its heart is in the right place, and so are its love scenes. The characters don't die. It has moments of amusement and some of the dialogue rings true. It's worth a rental.

"I've had that conversation before!" "I feel like she's telling my life story" are just a few of the many positive comments I heard when watching this movie with a group of friends. Beck manages to beautifully capture a simple but honest story about discovering ones sexuality and risking it all to figure out what you want and who you are. The lead actresses are superb without being over the top, and the story is nicely paced. I think most people (particularly women) will enjoy this movie, regardless of their sexuality.

The production of this film looks very amateur. In some scenes, the sound is so bad that it's hard to understand what people are saying. The storyline really doesn't do a good job of capturing your attention, and I found myself fast-forwarding through most of it. A real disappointment.

not much to say on this one good story lines suckie movie not helpful at all this movie has no cause.

Every aspect of this flick is poorly done. The acting, storyline, video quality are really so poor in quality that it is not even worth watching. The story has pretensions of depth and passion and pretensions are all that exist here. I would in no way reccomend this movie and I rented it thru VOD for $3.99, a higher rate than most movies I have thought of renting. Not worth it at all.

The story is about a student who has an affair her married teacher. The student tries out for a part in a play the teacher is directing and they end up falling for one another. The kicker is the story revolves around acting, the play and theatre at the college - BUT the actors in this movie were terrible! The scenes and filming screamed low budget. The lines were awful. It was painful to watch. I can't believe I sat through the entire movie. I think I was hoping it would get better. It didn't.

Save your money. This movie stunk.

I find myself in total agreement with the first review. Every aspect of this movie was dreadful. The acting, if such it could be called was pathetically amateurish, the story line overused, the script lame, the dialogue monotonous and the music was so clicheed that you could turn off the picture and still know what was happening on screen. There was no magic between the principles and nothing that I could see that would have induced a mature , sensible woman to make such a radical change in her lifestyle. I am a great fan of what is generally referred to as the "lesbian" gendre,personally I don't think it exists outside poorly made movies, and this one fits on the lowest rung of that category, along with " Girl Play",and Aprils' Shower", and too many others to mention. It was a total waste of money and should have carried a toxic label.

Lesbian films are new to me, but I like the director's other movie God & Gays: Bridging the Gap so I watched this one. I really thought it was smart and well written. I asked my lesbian friends about Intentions and they said it was definitely one of the best written they've seen. Apparently most lesbian films have bad writing. Well, anyway, this one is really good. I like it when a movie challenges me and makes me look at things, people and situations in a new light. It expands my heart. Intentions

90 percent of the dialogue in this film consists of three words: ACTING, RELATIONSHIP, DIRECTING
Heroine:"But what about my ACTING?"
Girlfriend:"You only think about ACTING! What about our RELATIONSHIP! Oh No! You're going to start ACTING again."

Audience: Oh no! She is. Make them all stop ACTING.

Heroine:"But When I'm ACTING I feel alive."
Girlfriend of Actress:"But what about our RELATIONSHIP?"
Jilted husband:"But what about our RELATIONSHIP?"
Cheating wife:"You don't care about our RELATIONSHIP! You just don't have any faith in my DIRECTING?"
Heroine:"But what about my ACTING?"

And yes, what about the ACTING? And DIRECTING?
This film provides some of the most inept examples of either I have ever been unfortunate enough to witness. The most abysmal scene, however, comes without dialogue. It's the love scene, in which the two women go through every clumsily lit pose in the love scene compendium,arched backs and silhouettes, all set to an atrocious song which goes something like

"strangeeers....loooooversss."

This film is one of those horrors where you seriously question your own ability to judge. If they didn't know they were making something this bad, does anyone?
