Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
jayrwilde I have to say that this movie is a promising movie in Asian cinema about homosexuality. it lays out the hardships on being a homosexual in a society that doesn't understand you. Great acting too. i really enjoyed the chemistry between main characters.I hope to see more of these movies in the future.
aupz23 I just got finished watching this movie and I must say that I was very impressed! I also enjoyed the music, especially the rock song playing during the end credits. I am definitely going to buy the soundtrack. I thought that the 2 lead actresses were very beautiful and did a good job at portraying Rome & Juliet. The guy was portrayed Juliet's finance (Marc) was very handsome. I also wanted to slap Marc's mother b/c she seemed like such a snob being rude to her cook and trying to be picky about Juliet's teaching uniform. The 2 scenes in the poetry venue was really nice, along with the talented musicians really playing good music with the guest poets. I thought that the 2nd scene where Rome is coming out in front of the poet venue guests about her real true feelings for Juliet and embracing each other right then and there in front of the guests at the poet venue. The climax made me want to cry because after all that Juliet has been through, you begin to cheer for Rome and Juliet to be together.
countymd This movie is surprisingly good. The story is a bit long and the ending is a bit short. But overall, it is a great movie. The lead actresses have a very good chemistry together, which makes it very believable. It describes how difficult it is for them to accept themselves and eventually for others to accept them. Sometimes it is not easy to accept your true self but both of them come to an understanding to accept themselves for who they are in order to pursue happiness in life. They both start off as very good friends and eventually fall in love with each other. The music is a bit lacking but I would still highly recommend this movie to anyone.
ljr-x25 I finally got to see this after over a year of waiting-it was worth it!!. This is a well written and acted film, full of forbidden love and passion.Juliet is a pre-school teacher about to marry her politician boyfriend when she hires wedding planner Rome to organise it all. They quickly form a bond that deepens into a soul consuming love. They finally act on their feelings but then the fiancé finds out and a lot of melodrama ensues, before you get a rare happy ending.At over 2 hours it could get boring but I was engrossed throughout.It's not a perfect movie though,some of the audio is at times shaky, the subtitles aren't as good as they could be, and their are multiple heterosexual love scenes whereas the love scene between the girls is very tame in comparison-but what you do see is romantic. It also leaves a few unanswered questions at the end to do with the other characters. Even with those complaints it's still become a favourite of mine.
