5.0 out of 5 stars Beck's Intentions captures the heart of the moment, May 3, 2005

By	SC IndieGirl (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews

"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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Abysmal, September 1, 2008

By	everest "film addict" (Vancouver Canada) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars But what about my ACTING? No! Our RELATIONSHIP! No! My DIRECTING, January 16, 2006

By	Nostalgianaut "Butako" (Tokyo) - See all my reviews

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?
