Captivating movie !

Beautiful, moving film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Simone's relationship with her aunt is creepy. And as a professional educator, I have lots of issues with the intimate teacher-student relationship. Annabelle boarders on stalking Simone. As an educator, Simone should have ended the relationship. My issue isn't about the lesbian relationship or the age difference (my husband is 22 years older than me). It's about the power balance of trust and responsibility educators share. Any media that encourages such a relationship will get a poor review from me.

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!

Rebellious catholic school girl seduces a seemingly bisexual poetry teacher. After what seems like only days of resistance, they fall in love. Roll soft core porn scene. Get caught by nun who is teacher's Aunt. Teacher is arrested... Roll credits. Don't get me wrong, this movie was okay, and even mostly believable. But... it doesn't really end. The story is very short. This could be a MUCH better movie if only it had been given a little more effort. Maybe a little longer of a story. The story ends pretty predictably. Except we're missing the end. I. give the acting an A, the story an A, but the ending a D. It just leaves so much unanswered and unfinished. I was thoroughly enjoying the movie, then it just ended.

The movie is carried by excellent performances of its main characters, who develop a believable and stunning chemistry. The eye-contacts alone are amazing to see. The movie makes you want to watch it to the end, and relate with its content, as well as wish all of the characters luck in their future. From a cinematographic point, while the main part of the movie is not outstanding, the small segues between scenes are characteristically made, with amazing shots and good, calm music, and give this movie a characteristic look and feel that makes you want to return to it. The mood of the entire movie is amazing, and ranges between electrifying to very calm, without being overloaded. All in all a highly recommended movie for every audience.
