L'ivresse du coeur

I watched the movie tonight and truly loved it. So much so, that when it was over, I looked to see who the author was so I could tell her how much I enjoyed the movie. It was so different, yet so real, and so beautiful. Thank you Julie Brazier for writing this story and whoever made it into a movie for television, thank you too. Also the actors did a wonderful job. The only face I recognized was "Sarah"...but all did an excellent job, including the small parts. As I wrote that sentence I recalled something I was told when I was in my 1st play. There are no small parts, only small actors. This movie had a host of wonderful actors doing a marvelous job portraying a story that really reached out to the viewer. I just wanted to say thanks again. I went on the internet to see if she had written any other movies or maybe a book. I found this site, so I hope word gets to her to let her know how much I enjoyed her movie.

Really heart-warming, charming, and sweet. This movie restored my faith in Lifetime Movie Network. All the actors are the kind of talented where I didn't even notice how good they were (until I read a previous poster's comment afterward) because they just WERE their characters. And all the characters are rounded and not static. They change and go through problems, feelings, conflicts, etc. It's really easy to watch and get absorbed in because so much of Sarah (and others) is revealed slowly and progressively. You witness the full growth and evolution of her romantic relationship and personal journey. The scenic views of wherever (Vancouver is where it's filmed?) really add to the setting and ambiance, also. Props to Sarah for going to the pound for a dog instead of a breeder (this is in the first 10 minutes or so of the movie). I don't know whether men would like it as much as women, but then again, it did air on Lifetime Movie Network.

That is the BEST movie I have seen in ages...it has it all...and it's clean....I LOVE it....need more movies with some values added in. This movie has forgiveness, sexual purity, dealing with problems, loneliness, friendship, dealing with addictions...and yet it had humor. I wasn't familiar with the stars but I loved each part they played. It was very well casted. I've tried to find it listed again and haven't had any luck yet. I would be interested in obtaining a DVD. This will be one of my favorite movies of all times. Maybe because it spoke to me in so many ways. Everyone has problems in life and this movie addressed so many of them. Thanks....where can I get a DVD?

Might be the worst film I have ever seen.No character development,cliché scene heaped upon cliché.The main actor(Jennifer Beale)seemed afraid to both act or be involved in what was a very limited production.The entire cast consisted of the members of an AA group.Avoid this film at all costs,I sat jaw agape about a 1/3 through the film.The viewer is unable to connect,or make an emotional investment in the characters due to not being given any background.I was actually surprised at how easy it was to spot the flaws in this film, but they are stark. I would give this film a zero if it was possible.

If I could rate this zero stars, I would. PLEASE don't waste your time. The positive reviews are clearly all written by the same person. No storyline AT ALL, no sub characters. Whoever chose the music for this movie needs to find another job.
