What a lovely movie!!!!!!!!! I can't understand why this film has not been shown before and no one even bothered to list the credits more fully for this film. The young actress that played the little girl was awesome -- totally believable. In the beginning there was quite a bit of overacting I thought, and you have to live through a lot of anger in the first half of the film, but things develop in a very realistic way -- and the film even has something not too many films have: an inspiring lesson and ending.

I'm really glad I watched this film. I wonder why although it was released in 1999 it has apparently not been shown much of anywhere until 6 years later. Hmmm...

I didn't care much for some of the lead actors in the film at the beginning, but they definitely grew on me -- as did the film. It's a film that has really beautiful transitions and meaning. Wonderful script.

It's too bad, because there are good actors, good cinematography, etc., but the content of the film too often was full of the macabre. Spare me movies like this!!!!!!!!!! If you enjoy watching things like the atrocities of mental asylums in the Middle Ages maybe you will like it, I don't know. I can't find any redeeming virtue of this film enough to recommend it to anyone for any reason. It's one of the few films I feel I would have had a happier life had I never seen it at all.

Disgusting.

When I read reviews, before watching it, that it was sick and perverted, I assumed such reviews were written by prudes. But no. They were simply stating the facts. Ugh.

I saw this on TV last night (I think it was the Lifetime Channel). Wow, what a TREAT...! It's got a good solid script, good actors and is truly funny. Paula P. was perfect for her part, which was very central to the story. I actually used to know someone in real life that was like her character in this film only he was a man (and incredibly handsome). I fell in love and or like with most of the film's characters, and am a big fan of Paula's -- but the coolest thing was that this was not like a hundred other movies I have already seen. It truly has its own originality.

Good cinematography, great directing, great acting, great script -- what more can we ask for?! The only thing that really bugs me about this film is that obviously the Big Boys in Hollywood in charge of the money flow decided not to market and promote this film. Too bad. Their loss! I'm going to have to look up who wrote the screenplay because I'd like to see whatever else s/he has done!!
