Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Irishchatter This movie would really make you feel sad and sorry for Paulie because she is over thinking the fact Tori broke up with her just as they were found out in bed together. I mean Tori shouldve taught her sister that anyone could fall in love regardless who it is unless they were people that are extremely evil and do wrong things! Could she have not thought of that?I was so hoping that Mouse and Paulie would be lovers with each other to calm her love sickness for Tori and think about themselves. Mouse had that golden heart for Paulie and I mean they should've kissed! I would have loved to have seen that and she wouldn't have sadly committed suicide! Its just so heartbreaking, really and truly :'(
garyslegg I came across this film whilst channel hoping and so wasn't expecting very much; however, I was soon enthralled by it. The subject matter could have easily been exploited and the filmed turned into something seedy, but instead it is a sensitive portrayal of the difficulties of overcoming loss and rejection. The fact that the two main protagonists are female is incidental to the story of love and heartbreak and tragedy that unfolds. It is very well acted by all the cast, but Piper Perabo and Jackie Burroughs deserve particular mention. The ending is poignant and heart-rending, one can not failed to be moved by it. This film is everything that "Blue is the Warmest Colour" tries and fails to be.
wes-connors Still grieving the death of her mother, fresh-faced teenager Mischa Barton (as Mary "Brave" Bedford) is sent to a boarding school, in beautifully landscaped Canada. The young lass quickly discovers Lesbian sparks are flying between her attractive young roommates - free-spirited Piper Perabo (as Pauline "Paulie" Oster) and busty look-alike Jessica Paré (as Victoria "Tori" Moller). The gal pals take center screen as Ms. Barton serves as semi-omniscient narrator. The character commanding our attention is played by Ms. Perabo; she finds Ms. Paré drifting into another relationship, with a hetero young man from the nearby boys' school... Her relationship is ending, but Perabo won't let go... If you're wondering, there is an arousing girl-on-girl love scene between Perabo and Paré. Though they are playing underage, the actresses are old enough. Enjoy. A later sex scene, between Paré and boyfriend Luke Kirby (as Jake Hollander), is a contrasting bore - likely showing where Léa Pool's sympathies lie. The director does well, eliciting good work all around, and taking advantage of the gorgeous scenery. The story is engrossing, until a certain character goes Shakespearian "bat-crazy". Better make that swashbuckling "falcon-crazy". The ending can be uplifting, or a downer. For me, the "duel" jumped the shark.***** Lost and Delirious (1/21/01) Léa Pool ~ Piper Perabo, Jessica Paré, Mischa Barton, Jackie Burroughs
hugh_i_walker OK, middle aged guy buys a movie about lesbian school girls. Everybody nods knowingly and they may have correctly judged my motivation in watching it. However, nothing prepared me for the way I felt after watching it and still feel about it now. I won't go into the story or spoilers, because they are sufficiently documented elsewhere here. On the face of it, there's an opportunity to make a genuinely erotic movie. What I saw was a movie about three girls who have, in some way or another, been rejected pushed aside or pressured into making choices which aren't their own. They are growing up and finding their way, not fully understanding the consequences of their own emotions. Those parts which I might have found erotic I found, instead, very tender and beautifully moving. The scene where Tori explains to Paulie that she will never love anyone the way she loves her is the most heart breaking piece of cinema I have ever seen. I get emotional just thinking about it! Piper Perabo gives an astoundingly real and powerful performance as a girl rejected first by her natural mother, then by her adoptive parents and,finally, by the girl she loves. Jessica Pare is convincing as a spoilt girl who sees herself losing all the benefits her family provide if she proves to be in any way less than the trophy daughter they imagine. She is plainly in love with Paulie but fails to see the consequences of her rejection until it's too late. Mischa Barton is also convincing as a young girl confused by her new surroundings but loyal to those who show her friendship. Her dismay when her father fails to arrive for a school event was profoundly touching. In the end,though, it's Piper Perabo who truly stands out. Why was she not nominated for any major award for this? I'd feel pretty aggrieved if I were her! I would have given 10/10 but for the ending. I felt a movie this good deserved something more conclusive and credible. Over all,though,it's not soft porn, not comically erotic, and nothing to watch with friends over beer. It's a beautiful, profoundly affecting film about true love and teenage girls. Anyone who dreads the day when their daughter comes home and says 'Dad, I have something to tell you...' really must watch this. I promise you, it could change your life!
