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.

Reviews for Waiting for the Moon
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.
