    Too many musical montages break the momentum, but overall it's an engaging piece of work, regardless of which team you play for.
  2. Full of insights on love and sex -- which will have more resonance for lesbians but pack a universal punch.
  3. Neither performer upstages the other, but the admirable film is weakened by timidity or a lack of skill.
  4. With little plot and a stifling set, the ­movie needs stronger performances than its leads can offer.

    This was a great movie. No one is expecting absolute perfection in the movie, so the critics need to relax! It was very true-to-life in terms of lesbian relationships. I thought it was well worth seeing. Expand

    Terrible acting, a haphazard plot and little cinematic insight plague this amateurish presentation of banal lesbian love. In others words, the movie simply doesn't work! Expand
