Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
lina-beana This is almost the exact storyline of Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden. The acting in the movie Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden (2008) was better, though there were more girl/girl scenes in this one.I thought this was the better story, but the acting was strange. The lead actor in"Sappho" was easily the best. If the rest of the cast had been taken from Garden of Eden and put into this movie perhaps it would get 4 or 5 stars.Like I said, the story could have been good, but the acting was mediocre and unlike Sappho and Phil, the chemistry between Helene and Phil was non-existent. This is more of a movie you would watch just to look at all the beauty in it. The actors, Avalon Barrie, the guy who played Phil, and the scenery--the island and all the cinematography.Not really a fan of the crazy lesbian commits suicide in a jealous rage story. It's a bit overused, but at least some other movies act it out better.If you're going to watch this movie, you must also watch "Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden" to laugh at the parallels and even verbatim quotes.
crombiefilms A strange lyrical film, much like the ancient poetess's Sappho's own poetry. It has no violence, no car chases, no gunfights, and yet it manages to be enthralling and unpredictable.I won't tell the story, except that it's about a boy and a girl who wants to be a boy and a girl, and it all gets complicated.Here in Ukraine it was a big commercial success - the biggest in the history of our film industry - and also there was a very big reaction against this movie from the church and anti-gays. It seems there are two reactions to this film, either you love it, or you hate it. You can see that from the reactions here too.The acting lets the movie down a little bit, but only a little.
Morgan Horrible film. I would not recommend this to anyone. While a film is being developed its creators should be asking themselves "So what? Who cares?" and they should be able to answer that question in regards to their movie. At the end of this I felt myself asking "So what? Who cares?" Which is incredibly bad.This film suffers from terrible acting, directing and writing, and its seemingly only redeeming qualities are it locations and occasionally good cinematography.Honestly, do not bother with this film. It's a glorified soft core porn, and the porn isn't even very good.
bozo2bozo2 Yet another lesbian drama (set, of course, on the Isle of Lesbos) where the "transgression" of lesbianism is punished by the death of at least one of them. The relative tedium of the movie is offset by the lovely scenery (oh, and the island's pretty, too), along with the amusingly bad acting of, well, pretty much everyone. So, to sum up: lovely women getting naked (good!); plot, acting, script, direction: bad! (Unfortunately, though, not bad enough to give it cult status.) I'd say that if you were stuck on a desert (Greek) island with just one movie, and it were "Sappho" ... oh, you poor thing. On the other hand, it might help you pass those long, lonely nights (just fast forward.)
