The Worst Film Ever

Simply Perfect

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

bought this movie after seeing the intriguing cover shot and was quite pleased with the outcome after viewing it. story of two very different women from social classes who have a chance encounter at a friend's birthday party. Rafaela Anderson who plays the dancer/instructor is immediately drawn to the quiet and rather introverted character played by Helene fillieres. Helene starts taking dance lessons at Rafaela's studio and the two start spending time together which soon reveals a strong physical attraction. Helene is married and has a young son which complicates the situation but despite this she continues seeing Rafaela and before one knows it the two embark on an affair. what is striking to me is the androgynous look and appeal of Helene's character who looks completely different in every angle shot or close-up. she is just stunning to gaze upon. the love scenes aren't overly explicit though i did find the sound of the wind chimes in the background a bit annoying during the scenes. there was good chemistry between the two leads which is vital to a love story and the emotions that Rafaela conveys when Helene suggests they spend time apart. difficult choices are made but the characters stay true to themselves and their heart.

I've finally gotten around to this seeing this and it was worth the wait. I really liked it, at times the production value is low and you can tell it was originally a made for TV movie, but it still manages to have you engrossed in the forbidden love story.Jeanne is a married mother who is disatisfied with her life, then she meets Marie a free spirited dance teacher at a party, their immediately drawn to each other. Jeanne uses Marie's dance classes as a reason to see more of Marie and soon their unable to deny their feeling and begin an affair. The husband slowly realises what is happening and angst ensues, until Jeanne is finally able to be honest about who she is and where she belongs.The actresses convey their attraction really well with just looks and body language, in fact at times there isn't a lot of dialogue and it's all left to facial features to tell the story. My only complaints are the music which doesn't add anything and the fact some scenes that could have been edited out or reduced slow the pace of the movie. If your looking for a sensitive 'lesbian' movie that isn't overly sensational this is one i'd recommend.

I am in love with this film. I especially love the soundtrack. Instead of a cheesy love song when the main characters finally sleep together, you hear the sound of wind chimes. Interesting.It's a genuine, feel-good movie. One of the few gay/lesbian love stories I have seen that conclude with a happy ending. It was refreshing. I love the personalities of the main characters and the obvious chemistry the two share.My favorite part of the entire film took place in the hotel bathroom. Jeanne was smoking a cigarette near the window and Marie walks in. She takes the cigarette out of Jeanne's hand and Jeanne says that she smokes a lot for a dancer. Marie smiles and says... "Not that much really... I have a rule... I only smoke... when... I'm... happy." Her facial expressions are unforgettable.

I actually watched the film this morning. I could hardly wait for Netflix to send it. I was a bit skeptical because I've seen a lot of lesbian films that really didn't cut the mustard. This film was a beautifully made lesbian film that rivaled most heterosexual romantic films I've seen. The one reason I got the film was due to the fact that Rafaela Anderson was in it. I had seen her in Baise Moi and think that she's an awesome actress as well as attractive. I'm not a lesbian but I'm very open sexually and thought the sex scenes were done very nicely, and not overly done like most films. There was a subtle awakening of love between these two characters, which put you right in the picture. You could actually see the love unfolding right before your eyes which is beautiful to me. There was never a butch, femme type of scenario in this film either, which happens in most lesbian erotica films. The fact that this woman was married and had a son was even more alluring. This movie showed two attractive women, who fell in love and make a choice at the end that will leave audiences guessing or wanting more. You watch and decide. The best lesbian love story I have ever seen.
