Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Irishchatter Quite frankly, I think this movie was excellently well done. Although I thought bad girl Annabelle had a crush on Collins as Annabelle seemed so caring when the poor porcupine died and the fact Collins is like a little sweet girl to fall in love with! However Annabelle put her attention too much on Simone but she had like a boyfriend in which she shouldve dumped him if she was going to be attracted to girls. I mean its not easy to let it out and the thoughts of accepting yourself but no one should live with dread. Say what you gotta say to that person, that way you guys would live happier instead of thinking back of regret! This movie gave us that message of belief and love to all of us!
TxMike This movie is on Netflix streaming movies. How much one likes it depends on how much they sympathize with the situations these girls find themselves in.In California, Erin Kelly (about 24) is Annabelle Tillman, daughter of a state politician, and finding herself repeatedly in trouble. A high school senior, she gets sent to a Catholic all girls boarding school, even though she wears Buddhist beads around her neck. But her parents see this as her last resort, if it doesn't work out here then it is off to military school.Annabelle is coy about her sexual orientation, but it becomes obvious soon that she is attracted to her female English teacher. That is Diane Gaidry as Simone Bradley. We gradually find out that Simone has her own interesting past, she had been educated at that same school and her aunt, the mother's sister, is the nun in charge of the school. And her "best friend" had died some years earlier, and it appeared they were more than just friends.Now, Simone is dating a nice man who is trying to convince her to move away from her apartment in the school and in with him, as a prelude to their getting married. But is it clear she has very cold feet, she finds excuses to postpone the discussion. In her position she knows that she should NOT be in a lesbian relationship, a man is the right choice, but she cannot commit to it.Annabelle senses all this and is very assertive in letting Simone know that she wants to pursue something with her, even though Simone is old enough to be her mother. That is perhaps the part that I was most dissatisfied with in this movie, it didn't seem real that a 17 or 18 yr old girl would be that persistent and obvious in pursuing her teacher. In fact as I watched it unfold I would call it stalking. So while I don't give it high marks it was indeed interesting and for the most part situations were handled as they should have been.SPOILERS: The girls in Annabelle's sphere sensed something was up and, one morning when Annabelle is missing from breakfast a student alerts the nun, who finds Annabelle and Simone just putting on their clothes after a night together in Simone's room. The cops are called and Simone is hauled off. Surely she should have known a relationship with a student is off limits and in fact criminal. Many object to this ending, but to me it is the only one that made sense in today's world.
filmchaser When I watch a film, I do so with an open mind because it started as a person's idea, and took effort, and it's somebody's art. I found watching this film to be torture because it was SO predictable, has been done so many times, and seemed to be all set up to move the audience to the sex scene...jeez...never seen one of THOSE before. How many times did "Simone" say, "No, stop, don't, I can't do this...no, stop, don't, I can't do this," only to sit somewhere and look pensive, with a vertical frown deep between her eyebrows deep enough for me to lose my car keys in, dealing with her inner demons: she's gay. How surprising. Let's see: raised in an all-girl Catholic school by Mother Immaculata (gay) since she was 13, and based on a weird little exchange between them, had likely been molested by Mother Immaculata (gay pedophile), so she later has a gay girlfriend who commits suicide, but marries a man she has no attraction for to appear straight. (Been done.) Then we, the audience, are to believe that this 40+ gay female teacher has managed to discipline herself all these years until a V.I.P. bad girl student comes to class. Another reviewer commented that she enjoyed this film because it is "character driven" and not "plot driven." I agree it has no plot. I agree the entire point of the two women is to have their soft-porn moment on screen, and the entire film is contrived (Annabelle can't leave campus for the holidays? Please! That kid would find a way.) And we're supposed to believe that Annabelle would find this homely middle aged depressive attractive? Simone mopes throughout the film, and looks haggard. The most interesting characters are the girl who insults everyone and the girl who cuts herself. I wanted to cut myself about 45 minutes into this film. Good Lord, what an insult to lesbians everywhere, and I'm straight. Maybe this is how it works, but I find it hard to believe that a teacher who says "NO" as many times as Simone did in this film would risk her freedom and her career for this particular student. It's one thing to be confused about whether or not to come out, and certainly quite another to be confused about what is an appropriate relationship between an adult educator and a minor student. Is this supposed to be HOT? It wasn't. There are so many stereotypes, and the woman who says NO and means YES went out with the 60's. And the title? We're supposed to believe this was about LOVE? I didn't see any way for love to develop between these two characters, because it's inappropriate. I saw quite a bit of lust and lack of self control. Very selfish in an adult to take advantage of a child...no love there. And the actress that played Annabelle, well, I hope she makes better career choices in the future because this film wasn't worth watching.
bethlm02 I've watched this film so many times now and i never get bored of it,The reason i like it is because firstly the story is amazing, well lesbian teacher-student affair << you have to love it (: (Don't tell me none of you have thought about it) Secondly The film itself is great, the acting is spot on and the actresses are hot (Which is always a bonus) I believe it is one of the best lesbian films out there i recommend this film to everyone because it's so sweet and loving and i truly believe you will all love it! (: The ending will leave some of you annoyed so make sure you watch the alternative ending it will make you feel a whole lot better (:
