Reviews for Lost and Delirious
A moving and erotic depiction of the pangs of first love in an all-girl environment.
07/06/01
Much of the time Pool seems lost herself, resorting to clichés, redundancy, and dead-end allegory.
07/05/01
Top CriticThis movie goes so far in the opposite direction of most films about teenagers that it might anger some viewers with its no-holds-barred honesty.
08/17/01
A thoughtful and compassionate story of a young girl.
04/26/01
Top CriticPool is an assured director, not afraid to explore the darker side of adolescence with integrity.
07/20/01
Top CriticA teen-lesbian Phenomenon without the maggots and psychotic chimp.
05/09/02
Perabo's performance is an intriguing high-wire trick in itself.
07/05/01
Pool can't avoid force-feeding us metaphors -- avian to Shakespearean -- whenever she wants.
07/06/01
Top CriticPool and Thompson have turned a tough-minded, solid narrative into a campy piece of kitsch that panders to teenage angst.
07/27/01
Top CriticStirred within me memories of that season in adolescence when the heart leaps up in passionate idealism -- and inevitably mingles it with sexual desire.
07/13/01
Top CriticWhat begins as a sweet story about young love quickly swells to absurd proportions.
06/07/01
The film is like an after-school special turned over for re-editing to both a romance novelist and a lurid specialist in peekaboo.
07/31/01
Overly concerned with not offending its audience.
08/02/01
Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.
07/23/01
Top CriticDuring the long sit, we get symbolism lobbed into our laps like a large you-go-girlfriend beach ball.
03/11/08
Pool captures the crazed urgency of first love -- the feeling of a passion so fierce that even a disapproving society can't crush it.
07/06/01
Top CriticIts treatment of the operatic highs and lows of young love and heartbreak feels right emotionally, even though the film tells its story rather awkwardly.
07/20/01
Top CriticIt takes place at a girls' school whose students are discovering love for the first time, so the unguarded, adolescent ripeness of their emotions feels right to me.
08/02/01
A powerful, affecting story of first love with all its joy, exuberance, angst and sorrow.
