"This was a very good movie that is based on a true story. The acting isn't that great, and a little cheezy at times but the main idea is there. Its a sad story of course but I think its meaning speaks for itself. If hollywood would have made this movie it would have been as big as brokeback mountain."
Poor acting...Good story

"Yes, this movie is not wonderfully acted and some of the dialogue is cheesy but the message is still there. The relationship between the girls is REAL and the love-making scene is beautifully and tastefully done. I was not excited by the ending but don't let that stop you from watching it. It tells a valuable story. There are women and girls out there that are possibly living a lie or still questioning their sexuality and this shows the extreme of living as someone you are not and the importance of living your life proudly."
Sad movie, makes you think

"This is NOT just another lesbian movie. It is a very powerful movie about a girl having to make a lot of tough decisions. She has to choose between the desires of her mother and her own desires. She has to choose between continuing an old life she had lived before that felt right, or this new life that although is filled with romance and adventure, seems like a sin to her. She has to choose between dealing with the pressure to conform and fit in, or being different but mocked and ridiculed.
Although the movie takes place in New Orleans, the story is one that can happen in any city or any society. It had me trying to put myself in the characters shoes, to find that there are no good guys or bad guys, just people whose misunderstanding of each other leads to a lot of heart ache and tragedy.
This should be watched with someone you care about, maybe a parent or a child. The musical store greatly adds to the impact of the film"
