I absolutely LOVED this movie!!!
This movie was passionate, beautiful and sensual. I was captivated by the generous spirit of the actors, director and the poignant story they told.
What a risk to tell the story of the love of two women...to tell the story of true love.
Brilliant!

one of the most beautiful films i've ever seen - and i have seen a lot.
Since accidentally buying this film a week ago, I've been watching it almost everyday. It is a very moving piece, incredibly romantic and beautifully shot. I have no expertise on movie direction but all credit goes to Patricia for her creativity. Apart from being incredibly gorgeous, the leading ladies gave a very moving performance, which intern moved me.
Mind Opening.....
I first rented this film 2 years ago & I am still renting it today when I go to the store. I have never seen love portrayed in such an open,honest,wanting & unsured of their feelings kind of way. It is presented in a way most of us feel when we fall in love for the first time or when we fall in love with someone that is not the norm according to society. Even to this day I am impress with the way Patricia Rozema show the characters in such an emotional way, that leaves the audience understanding why these two people fall in love. By the way Pascale Bussieres and Rachael Crawford were GREAT in this movie! After seeing this movie a viewer truly stops categorizing this movie(in a genre such as lesbian/gay, canadian film, etc)and see that showing a love story is the true purpose of this film.
Guys! Don't critize me too much!

wonderful
Bought this film a few years back. After viewing it, I came to the conclusion that it was by far one of the most beautifully and artistically directed films i have ever seen that deals with the subject matter of a girl meets girl. The lead actresses Pascale Bussieres and Rachael Crawford had great chemistry and were equally beautiful which made the love scenes all the more believable and erotic. There was no contrived or cliched dialogue and you sympathized with the characters and what they were going through especially when Camille was torn between choosing Martin and Petra. This is by far one of the best Canadian productions made.
wonderful and beautifully shot film
Bought this film several years back. It had played at several theatres during its first release but I never did get down to actually viewing this film. When I finally bought the film and watched it, it definately went beyond my expectations. Everything about the film was near perfect. One could feel the emotions that each character was conveying on screen. The film was beautifully shot. The love scenes were incredibly erotic. A near perfect film.
Did you know
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits roll, Bob the dog is seen running away from camera into a snow-covered field.
- Alternate versionsThe original Canadian print included longer and more graphic sex scenes. These scenes earned an "NC-17" rating from the MPAA when it was released in the USA, so they were trimmed to earn an "R" rating for the U.S. video release.
