Lacrimosa

Yes, this is a movie that you either love or hate. I loved it, but my friends were sickened by it. It's a very strong love-story between Linus and Vanja, and as Vanja said it: "You are my perfect half and the mistake is that I was born as your sister". The lines are touching, and the actors are very good. The woman who wrote it was also very good, and I have a faint memory of this being her first movie.

But the incestuous theme disturbs many; the siblings loving each other, the mother wanting her son...If you can't watch such, then avoid this movie! But it sure is one of my favorites...

I've been wanting to see this movie for 8 months now, since I first read about it in December, but since I don't like movie theaters I thought I'd wait till it got out on video. And that was lucky, because tears just kept streaming down my face. It was so sad! Probably the saddest movie I have ever seen. I usually don't cry when watching TV or movies, but this one really got to me. It may be the fact that it's based on a true story. How could they be so cruel to him/her, just because he/she was different?! And Hilary Swank was so great as Brandon, sometimes I forgot that she was a *she*. You have to see it!
