    Artsy schmartsy. It kinda stays with you for a while, like when one precise connection with one precise moment in time is established through a line::: "I think I'm kind of in love with you."-why, yes...you were.

    A talented woman falls victim to feelings hidden in her. The resulting unbriddled passion proves fatal to the second woman, who was the strongest of the two.

    Excellent performances by Ally Sheedy, Patricia Clarkson & Radha Mitchell in this Sundance award winning drama. Not for everyone, but open your mind & decide for yourself.

    Most people didn't like this movie. I love it! The photography and art direction are fabolous and all the cast is great. Radha Mitchell called my attention in this film.

    It's sadness, it's raw, it's pain, it's beauty, it's passion, it's love, it's art. It's life.

    This is a wonderful movie. I don't know what it is about movies about lesbians but they just draw me in. There love scenes are more intense I think plus, Radha Mitchell is hot, plain and simple. I loved Ally Sheedy in this movie, it was a nice break from seeing her in the rat pack movies. Which don't get me wrong I love all of those movies but her character Lucy was great, she played the heroin addicted photgrapher part well. But my favorite character was Greta played by Patricia Clarkson, she is so beautiful and I love her in any movie she's in. The end was depressing for me, which it probably was for many who watched this movie. There were also some beautiful photgraphs, very erotic.

    I had high hopes for this after hearing it described as 'the best films of the 90's' and although it was good (in particular the two leads) it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I think the ending was a big part of my disappointment I HATED it!!

    An artsy movie to be appreciated! Definitely heavy and dark. Not your average kind of romance. Ally Sheedy and Radha Mitchell are actually pretty hot together... I had trouble seeing it before watching the film. Now... I can see it over and over again when I shut my eyes...

    I loved it. This movie was extremely artistic in more ways than one, and I can't say too much without spoiling it. I don't like to read the back of DVD covers because I don't want anything to be spoiled, so I'm not about to write one of my own, but I loved this movie. I rented it simply because the cover intrigued me. Well, actually, I have been walking past it in Family Video and finally just grabbed it. I sat down tonight and watched it alone, and it was amazing. I would watch it again in a heart beat. In fact, I may end up owning this one. I'll add it to the list. It was a tad predictable, but incredible all the same.

    I'm sorry but this movie is hot.. I don't know why I got into it..(aside from a crush on Ally Sheedy I had from like 3rd grade.. ).. I'm not into the drug scene, nor the world of photographers.. but damn.. this movie caught me.. *shrug*

    This is also another gay/ lesbian, friendly movie.
    It has a very good story line, about one girl who never thought that she would ever fall in love with another woman, and how the other one, who is a lesbien, is in need of a friend, who can help her to get off of drugs, and get her life back together before it is too late...

    Sheedy is amazing in this film, very sexy. The poignant element for me was the theme of loving an addict. All the while your rooting on this new clean relationship, but like anyone who's been there knows, it never works out. All that said, there's really not much to move the story forward, not to mention that Mitchell's acting is second rate. Here's an idea: Give the part to a dyke. Duh.

    Bleak but beautiful. Especially good soundtrack. Mitchell and Sheedy shine, Clarkson just about gets away with a Deitrich impersonation. A downbeat but fascinating film.

    wonderful movie, about a beautiful but tragic love story between Syd and Lucy. Rahda Mitchell and Ally Sheedy both do a wonderful job in this movie.

    lesbian love can be hard to understand but this movie, you just dont see it as a war between straight and gay ppl, you see it as an evolution.. esp for syd in the movie.. so what if its a lesbian movie, go watch it.. the movie shows off real love in all its honesty..

    Overblown artistic bs. God, it was so depressing. Anorexia, anorexia, coke, drugs, sex, oh and I'm so pretentious and cool cause I take pictures! All I can say is that the ending suited the damn film.

    A couple of guys whom I watched this excellent film and enjoyed it as much as I did (though maybe more... one noted that the lesbian sex scenes were "just gravy on an already excellent film" :-)
