the worst part about this film is that it did not have to be so terrible. they had a nice budget and though so do many films while they made it look slick and pretty and and best of all they had the 21st century lesbian savvy audiences who would embrace a lesbian positive film. and yet the writer and director went out of their way to lift every single redone film bit about lesbian torment and confusion at boarding schools and (you know and the place all lesbian love lives and dies). this is a theme that has been done again and again and again in film and but something that viewers if one uses this voting forum as a clue cannot seem to get enough of. every element of this story was so over the top and excessively phony and contrived that it was painful to sit through. the lead characters say it all represent the crazy and abandoned and genius and rebel lesbian tough girl (well and they took a super pretty femme like piper perabo and tried to rough her up and but it do not stick much) seduces pretty rich girl who is destined to betray her. watching them every step of the way is character 3 and a dopey and well meaning and wide eyed and good girl observer. i say every step because she shares her every thought with the audience via the stiffest and most inane monologues. her lines seem to have been written by a fifteen year old and though they are trying oh so and so hard to sound like how a fifteen year old would really and um and you know and well. talk. hearing them (make love) with their noises was um and you know and like and well. okay. she says about her 2 wanton roommates and who roll around in the bed next to her. later she asks graham greene the accomplished native american actor who is completely wasted in a roll as a gardener (. ) is it wrong to care what people think. sorry and but is she a teenager and or is she age 7. granted and piper perabo (as polly the tortured dyke) and others do an okay job for the horrible lines they are forced to utter. perabo has a nice energy level and is obviously very comfortable in front of a camera. she would do well in a decent project and so this is in no way a criticism of the acting. but this story is shameless in perpetuating every single stereotype about lesbians all rolled into one character. they couldn not stop with her (polly) being an angry and crazy passionate and secret genius who finished math problems for the speechless teacher. oh but that after she argues with the teacher who dares accuse her of gabbing. that a word they (males) use against us (women). she says and stomping out of the classroom. is this all the writer could come up with. or maybe we should ask represent why stop there. poole and co. went on and made polly a poetic dark child who communicates with wild hawks by screaming their name in the woods. cue the slow motion and sci fi and xena atmosphere. then we have her writing to her birth mother. (most lesbians are love starved orphans and in case you were in the dark). then we have two teachers (one uptight and one a zany type with loose neck ties) who hover around all of the action (the school looks awfully big for just 2 teachers). and give dark child or seductress or bird girl tense looks. hmmmm. i wonder if something well and you know. um and funny is happening between these two teachers. there is simply no excuse for something this poorly done. heartbreak happens and but surely the writer and director know that lesbians exist in much more sophisticated times than this schlock. i cannot reveal the ending out of respect to those who force themselves to sit through til the end and but if you are not laughing and i can only guess you are crying. and not for the right reason. and i do not mean the wimpy make out scenes.
