MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Irishchatter This movie would really make you feel sad and sorry for Paulie because she is over thinking the fact Tori broke up with her just as they were found out in bed together. I mean Tori shouldve taught her sister that anyone could fall in love regardless who it is unless they were people that are extremely evil and do wrong things! Could she have not thought of that?I was so hoping that Mouse and Paulie would be lovers with each other to calm her love sickness for Tori and think about themselves. Mouse had that golden heart for Paulie and I mean they should've kissed! I would have loved to have seen that and she wouldn't have sadly committed suicide! Its just so heartbreaking, really and truly :'(

garyslegg I came across this film whilst channel hoping and so wasn't expecting very much; however, I was soon enthralled by it. The subject matter could have easily been exploited and the filmed turned into something seedy, but instead it is a sensitive portrayal of the difficulties of overcoming loss and rejection. The fact that the two main protagonists are female is incidental to the story of love and heartbreak and tragedy that unfolds. It is very well acted by all the cast, but Piper Perabo and Jackie Burroughs deserve particular mention. The ending is poignant and heart-rending, one can not failed to be moved by it. This film is everything that "Blue is the Warmest Colour" tries and fails to be.

atlasmb Lost and Delirious is about three girls who attend a private boarding school. As is common with such films, the girls feel alienated from their parents and at odds with the adult world in general.As in real life, the characters sometimes turn to rebellion to voice or act out their dissatisfactions. They break all the rules and, isolated as they are in the self-contained world of the all-girls school, they create their own world, which they liken to Peter Pan's world of the Lost Boys.This is a coming of age story. But it is more than that. It is a love story that may be uniquely about teens or may be universal for all ages. Paulie, played by Piper Perabo, is a young woman with great passions. When she reads Shakespeare, she doesn't just read the lines, she relates to the desperation of the characters, especially after her roommate Victoria rejects her love. She admires raptors because they live a simple life and are compelled by nature to hunt and obtain what they need. Paulie wishes to become more raptor-like as she suffers the pain of rejection (and the pain of loving). Piper Perabo plays the part tremendously. I enjoyed watching her in this role, in part because I watch Covert Affairs and I enjoyed seeing her earlier in her career.Victoria is played by Jessica Pare. The other roommate, Mary, is played by Mischa Barton. Both play their roles convincingly, with passion.The headmistress is played by Jackie Burroughs. She is inspired in her portrayal. One feels that so many levels of her character lie behind her words and actions. In a small role, Graham Greene is notable, as usual.The film captures the disappointment of young people who are torn between loving and hating their parents. It explores the edge between childhood and adulthood, where roles (in society) are defined, sometimes painfully. And it celebrates the passion of all-encompassing love, especially by young people who burn so brightly.I enjoyed the soundtrack of this film. The direction was well done, bringing the viewer into the world of the girls. The only choice that bothered me was the ending. Not that it was horrible, but I found it distracting. I feel the same symbolism could have been achieved without the confusing move into surrealism.

rageevenmore Ah, "Lost and Delirious." Where do I begin? Imagine everything that can go wrong in an indie film. I'll give you a minute, there's a lot to think about.You done? Okay.Everything you just thought of is present in this movie. Bad writing - horrible, pretentious writing - that's at the core of it. Bad acting - that's not necessarily the fault of the cast, though some of them give truly horrid performances. A flood of angst. Not just any angst, but pathetic, teenage, *gay* angst. Which would be sickening even at the best of times.It's also a bad adaptation. No, not a bad adaptation. That's inaccurate. It can hardly be said to have been adapted from its source material at all. Anybody who's read "Wives of Bath," the novel on which this movie is (allegedly) based, can tell you that the only things the two share are the (first) names of some of the characters.That being said, let me get to the point.I. Love. This. Movie.I remember the first time I ever saw "Lost and Delirious." That's not something you forget. I just happened upon it whilst flipping through movie channels one day. I watched it; because though I've seldom been met with anything that's not crap, I continue to watch lesbian dramas, because I think maybe - just maybe - one of them will surprise me.Well, this movie did surprise me. And when I say that, I mean that every scene made me think, incredulously, "Are you kidding me?" Yes, it was crap. But I slowly began to realise that this crap was, in fact, comedic *gold*. This movie was - is- a laugh riot.I mean, come on, these little lesbians are ca-razy. Picking up shards! Crying like girly-girl, sucky-sucks! Misinterpreting Shakespeare! Barfing bad poetry! Slow-motion crying! Duels! And when Paulie jumps off the roof at the end. Hoo-lordy. Because, if you'll notice, that is a slanted roof. So she's not just going to fall straight off of it, that's not how physics works. There's too much slope to that roof for that to happen. No, she is going to jump, slide down the tiles, then fall. Lollerskates! Honestly, it's like the first time, every time with this movie. Yes, I own it. From time to time, when we want to have a little fun, my girlfriend Sarah and I will pull out our copy with Chinese writing all over it and pop it in. Hilarity ensues. It's not that we're insensitive. We're just mature enough to see this movie for what it is. A badly written, badly acted, coked-out-on-angst melodrama. And in that, we have found pure joy.
