Almost contemptuous of fact, this unconvincing lesbian romance opts for a soft, amorphous approach in depicting the elationship between the writer-emigre Gertrude Stein and longtime companion Alice B. Toklas.

Beautifully conveys that special feeling when two separate individuals find themselves at one with each other and the world.
Well, a rose is a rose is a rose, and a movie is a movie is a snoozefest.
