Sappho

I couldn't watch this movie without cringing at the lead girl. She really was hard to watch. I felt like it was like playing dress up for her.

This was apparently 1926 and I couldn't tell how old she was or what. She walked like Paris Hilton, Not Greta Garbo. She didn't seem to know anything about how an upperclass girl acted in 26. Also, did she have an accent? did she not? I really hope I don't see any more of this idiot.

The lead actor though wasn't too bad. I felt like he really carried the movie for me.

It was an OK movie over all. I won't watch it again. I can't bear the audacious acting.

the acting in this film is wooden and not dynamic at all. The lead actress' characterisation of a 1920s was only made apparent because she actually said the year out loud. She saunters around with a swagger that is more modern than anything, and her voice fell into a predictable vocal pattern that when coupled with her obnoxious behaviour, soon becomes incredibly annoying.

The script itself was poorly written; many of the lines between the two female leads were painfully forced and when delivered, gave the impression that the writer had no clue about how women talk(in general or to each other). My favourite moment has got to be when they were looking at the 'Easter eggs' and Helen's father gleefully exclaims ''and that was how Aphrodite made the lesbians!'

The film in general lacked subtlety, making it hard to watch without some eye-rolling at the inevitable clichés and cheesiness. Even the intimate scenes sometimes felt cheap, with the exaggerated acting on the lead's part.

After 50 plus years I've finally found the worst movie ever made. Atrocious acting all around. Ridiculous plot. Not even the beautiful scenery and sex scenes can salvage this disaster. And it's so long! Or just seemed long. Completely devoid of any meaning or message. I actually was laughing at how tremendously awful this was. If you wanna watch it go for it. It's your life. But I can't recommend this at all.

I'm disappointed that the page for the movie gives no credit to the book Garden of Eden by Hemingway. The movie is very heavily based on the storyline of that book, taking whole passages and conversations almost verbatim. It is not one of his more famous novels, but it still seems unlikely that even a foreign release could get away with not crediting such an influential author.

The movie itself is visually appealing and the production quality is pretty good. The acting is terrible though. Stiff and uninspired. I wouldn't have finished watching it had I not wanted to see if it ended the same way as the book. I do not recommend this movie overall.

Horrible film. I would not recommend this to anyone. While a film is being developed its creators should be asking themselves "So what? Who cares?" and they should be able to answer that question in regards to their movie. At the end of this I felt myself asking "So what? Who cares?" Which is incredibly bad.

This film suffers from terrible acting, directing and writing, and its seemingly only redeeming qualities are it locations and occasionally good cinematography.

Honestly, do not bother with this film. It's a glorified soft core porn, and the porn isn't even very good.
