Falling for Juliet and not Romeo comes with a toll November 4, 2009
Denise Escamilla Ortiz (Mexico City, Mexico)
Probably the most shocking thing about this tragic love story is that it is feasible. I can relate in so many ways to it. It is scary to discover that you were waiting for Juliet instead for Romeo in your life. And not everyone has the guts to live out this kind of love. I guess this happens more often than what we think. And for some it does have a Shakespearean ending to it.
The story is good, and the music is awesome. Some of the photography is really great. And it's a kick to see these actresses at such a young age and see what they turned into as young adults. I did like the movie, although you might want to skip it for a day that you are in a mood for serious drama and tragedy. It's not your usual love-romance happy ending story, but it's worth watching it, specially if you are into lesbian movies.
 Powerful, Stunning Performance September 5, 2009
Paul (Texas, USA)
Piper Perabo's performance will take your breath away. She plays a young, proud lesbian in love with a girl who is deeply in "the closet." Her portrayal of this passionate, strong, flawed, and slightly crazed heroine more than makes up for any shortcomings the script may have.
See it!
 Great Emotion, Great Mood, With a Major Downer July 30, 2009

I'm going to try desperately not to give anything away here, so let's just say literarily speaking I get why people like this story. I get that people like the star-crossed lovers, tragic romance stuff- I do. (In fact, I'm a HUGE fan of it.) But this just seemed like watching a plain crash or a train wreck, because you know the ending's coming the whole time, and all you can do is watch the events (and one of the characters) unravel. It's that horribly sad, gut-wrenching kind of melancholy that some folks really get off on; like watching movies about horrible tragedies, mass attrocities and dying things... Some people like that.
Me however? Not so much.
Don't get me wrong- I love the emotional quality and depth of this film, the cerebral characters and the intellectual nature of the production. I greatly appreciate all of that. I just think people have made way too much of watching a love (in 2 senses of the word) spiral downwards. Plus, ya can't help but wish that somebody wouldda sat a certain little girlie down and gotten her some major therapy- sexuality notwithstanding.
I guess to me it seems they're trying to intimate that homosexuality must be akin to (or bundled inexorably with- if not out-and-out lie within) some serious mental illness. To that I say *zerbert.* :P
Free hearts and love requited = good.
Untended madness, non-present and/or idiotic adults, hardcore denial and other dismal stuffs, = bad...
very good June 13, 2009

Absolutely awe-inspiring May 25, 2009
E. G. Bales
I saw this movie for the first time when I was thirteen and just discovering sexuality. It was late and I didn't have school so I stayed up searching through the cable channels until I found this movie. For me, this movie inspired me to give it my all when i am in love. I am not a female, and thus, not a "lesbian." However, this movie made me see beyond the labels that modern society thrusts upon us. I was excited to find that the local video store was able to order it for me. The girl behind the counter actually knew what movie I was trying to describe.
The whole character of "Mouse" is exactly like that of every young teenager who gets thrown into this kind of situation, trying to help one friend, Paulie, "win" back another, Tory. The last half, after Paulie and Tory are discovered, was done wonderfully. The ending was extremely unexpected and actually made me cry at the loss of Tory's love.
I would recommend anybody to watch this movie. It will definitely make you rethink the title that you project onto somebody else. Whether you call them "gay" or "lesbian," they also have a certain way they approach the love they seek.
