Lost and Delirious (2001)

inpirational tragedy

I bought this DVD because i'd previously seen the movie and loved it. It has comedy, romance, poetry... all of this in an environment that contains peer pressure and all of those other great things about high school. I've seen Lost and Delirious many times and still haven't gotten bored with it... November 24, 2008

Captures angst/spontaneity of relationship

One of my favorite lesbian love stories. I saw this film years and years ago when I was first coming to terms with my own sexuality. The characters are relatable and genuine,and the angst between the two lead characters is palpable and sexy throughout. Though the film delivers a tragic end, it develops into a metaphor with many of the familiar themes faced by young (and even older) gay couples. The film runs the gamut of emotion and is a must see given its poingnant themes. It still is relevant, and is of the contemporary films that still connects with its audience. November 19, 2008

I bought this film as a gift for someone I love..

And I am glad they know I love them, because this movie was not good.

I chose it based off of the numerous glowing reviews and I've never been so disappointed by Amazon critics.

The writing is awful. The music is sappy. There are too many unimportant unfulfilled subplots throughout. The reference to "The Raptor" is never completely explained. And last but not least,wonderful, wonderful Graham Greene is wasted in this film.

I truly wanted to care about Paulie - but I found her unsympathetic. I didn't care if she was happy - I just wanted her off of my screen! Mouse (Mary) seemed to have a very pointless role - it seemed as if she just wandered into the film, mistook it for realife and got snagged into drama that was too far fetched to be believable.

I was very disappointed. September 8, 2008

Could have been better,

My friend had recommended watching this movie to me a while ago, so I finally did. All in all it wasn't bad but the twist came too soon in the plot and 2/3 of the movie was lost because of it. However I did enjoy Piper Perabo's character because it was really the only main character with A personality. Mischa Barton's portrayal of Mary "Mouse" Bedford was good but sometimes it was a little "wtf" (see the narration). Teens will relate and probably get a bigger kick out of it than not. I actually did cry because most of the movie was quite sad, but there needed to be more PLOT, had there been this might have been on my all-time Top 10 list. May 10, 2008

One of the best

True, it's one of the best lesbian movie out there, it gave me a good laugh and brought me to tear at the same time. This movie is simply so beautiful, I felt in love with Paulie without realize it, she's such a prince, fighting hopelessly for her princess. I would love to watch it over and over, a good movie for both straight and gay person. April 4, 2008
