88This is a movie for those who sometimes, in the stillness of the sleepless night, are so filled with hope and longing that they feel like -- well, like uttering wild goat cries to the moon. You know who you are.
-
80Never takes off, and much of the time Pool seems lost herself, resorting to clichés, redundancy, and dead-end allegory.
-
75Boldly goes where Hollywood rarely treads: into the passionate, intense and complex world of girls at the point in their lives when self-discovery is tempered by enormous vulnerability.
-
75Lost and Delirious doesn't need metaphors for the power of strength and healing. All the passion and pain it needs glows ferociously in the eyes of its young women.
-
75Pool captures the crazed urgency of first love -- the feeling of a passion so fierce that even a disapproving society can't crush it.
-
75Boldly goes where Hollywood rarely treads: into the passionate, intense, and complex world of girls at the point in their lives when self-discovery is combined with enormous vulnerability.
-
70Nicely written as well as filmed.
-
67Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.
-
63Sophisticated in that European way and predictable in that Hollywood way.
-
63Perfectly cast, if insufficiently dramatized.
-
60Piper Perabo is a revelation -- and Barton is maturing into a sensitive, subtle performer with a marvelously expressive face.
-
60Blessed with a lovely score and strong acting, but crippled by an awkward, mawkish script.
-
50Perabo gives a fairly impressive and flashy performance, even when the script descends into melodrama.
-
50Will divide audiences between those whose hearts have been tugged into going along with the picture way past common sense and those who find it impossible to accept the film's credibility-defying developments.
-
50The movie is beautiful to look at (lensed by Pierre Gill) as are the girls, but it takes its clunky message so seriously that it often verges on silliness.
-
42It has a frenetic, unsettled edginess that chafes against its serene, woodsy, upscale private school setting.
-
40A startling letdown after (Léa Pool's) plaintive, understated coming-of-age tale "Set Me Free."
-
40It works in so many ways except for the script, which sounds laughable. And sadly, when Lost and Delirious trips over its own two feet, it is laughable. It needs to follow Paulie's advice and rage more.
-
30All the dramatic stops are pulled out as the script goes into serious literary overload.
-
30Equally earnest and unconvincing.
-
20Isn't much more than a self-indulgent picture about the feeble delirium of a lovesick girl -- lightweight stuff that labors to seem terribly important.

SamanthaK.6While the acting was great, the script needed work, and the ending just made my heart sink, and not in a good way.
