Not long after moving into her own place, Maggie finds herself with two unsolicited roommates: her recently divorced mother, Lila, and her young brother. The timing is especially bad, considering Maggie has fallen hard for an attractive woman, Kim, only hours before they move in. What could be a nonissue becomes increasingly complicated -- since Maggie's family is unaware of her sexual orientation, and Maggie is not open to sharing that information.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

When I first saw the add for the film I knew what I was getting into, but I didn't expect how raw European film making can be. A story about a woman caught between two worlds with an adventure so true to life; I was on the edge of my seat. Every turn was as shocking and serendipitous as the next. The Mystery behind Thelma past and identity was as shocking and touching as teddy bears eating rum ice-cream on a coaster ride. Thelma's masked emotions are just the tip of the iceberg as she gets a stranger to drive her to her would be destiny and yet optimistic tragedy. This film opens your eyes to a world that so little is known about worth the watch if you like subtitles, strong drama and titillation. In the end I loved the film, but consider the fact I'm very bohemian.
