An exciting and sincere film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Lianna is limited by its predictability, and one soon begins to wonder about the film's aura of authenticity.

It is a poignant, praiseworthy piece of art.

[VIDEO] Writer/director John Sayles's 1983 follow-up to his impressive debut with "Return of the Secaucus Seven" is an important touchstone of lesbian cinema.
November 5, 2011 | Rating: A | Full Review… -
Though not one of Sayles' best efforts, this indie about a lesbian coming out is well acted.
June 2, 2011 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… -
Sayles balances anecdotal stiffness with a keen interest in people and their unguarded moments

Audience Reviews for Lianna

Jan 28, 2009An exploration of love and relationships and cultural restraints. <i>Lianna</i> is sexual without being exploitative and a shining example of John Sayles' minimalistic approach to movie making.Randy T Super Reviewer

Aug 12, 2007Great script and acting make Lianna a solid drama that's worth watching if you're into that kind of thing. The subject matter is presented honestly, or at least it seems very honest to me. Being that I'm not a Lesbian, it's hard for me to make a definitive statement on the matter. AND the best part of all, no one died of a hate crime at the end! How refreshing!Ken S Super Reviewer
