It is so focused on its own boldness, its dare-to-shock sensuality (the film got an NC-17 from the MPAA, but is being released unrated), that nothing else comes through. Feb 13, 2001 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Rozema is a fabulist with a strong visual sense, and she creates a distinctive, enclosed world to illustrate Camille's odyssey. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The film is intelligent, sensitive and in its own uniquely quiet way quite a delicious treat. Oct 2, 2005 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

A well-done portrait of a person who has to come to grips with the fact that love, while a many-splendoured thing, is also extremely unpredictable. Dec 18, 2002 | Rating: 4/5

Those looking for an earnest depiction (and one that doesn't wallow in the seemingly inherent 'leering' of similar films), it's probably worthy of a look. Dec 5, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Powerful film that beautifully choreographs the potencies of sexual desire in a woman who has put too much emphasis upon her mind. Aug 22, 2002 | Full Review…

When compared to such incisive lesbian dramas as Lianna and Desert Hearts, Rozema's effort seems flat and banal. Jun 5, 2002 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A beautiful and touching film from Patricia Rozema and one of my favourite Canadian films. What makes it a classic however is the epic performance of Tom Melissis as Hang Glider #2.
Super Reviewer
It is good, entertaining and even sexy. But there isn't much content beyond the unequal romance. However, it's always refreshing to see a likeable, non-psychotic lesbian couple on film. And the actresses have excellent chemistry.
