Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

shevaunhodge This is most definitely a love story. It shows how being gay or lesbian as such a young age can be very difficult especially when you are in love . The acting is fantastic by all of the actors, and the main three girls in it make the film with such amazing chemistry. To be honest I wouldn't have labeled Mischa Barton as a really good actress, but after watching this I have changed my mind, her acting is fantastic especially for someone, who was then, only 15 years old. It could have been her character in the OC that I wasn't keen on, rather than her acting skills. Piper Perabo was also fantastic. I have only ever seen her in coyote ugly, and thought she played a fantastic part in that also. The characters in these two films are very diverse and different, which proves she has good acting skills. It took me a while to work out what film I had seen her in before. Jessica Pare (plays Tory) is also very good in this movie. The connection between her and Piper Perabo character Paulie seemed so real. I have not seen her in any other films as of yet. Even though the film is fantastic, it is also very sad. It highlights how someone can be so influenced my family and friends that they dismiss true love. There is a quote in the film said by Piper Perabo as Paulie that really stuck with me. Mary, who is played by Mischa Barton says "Tory is not a lesbian , so you need to just get over her ok?". Paulie (Piper parado) then says "Lesbian? What are you talking about?" Mary then says "Well you are a girl in love with another girl aren't you?". Paulie then replies "No I'm Paulie in love with Tory, don't you remember? I need to get back what is mine". This, I think, is a very true quote suggesting that there is not a label on their love. They are not lesbians, they are two people in love and that is it. The ending for me was very sad and I wasn't expecting it. Its shows how painful love can be, especially when you know that love is being sacrificed because of opinions of others, and what they expect of you, rather than what you want.

themadzak I read a few user reviews that spoke of the poor acting. I have to disagree. I thought Piper Perabo was great in the movie, and the other actresses did their jobs well.I didn't get the ending. I will not say what it is because I don't want to spoil it for you. If anyone wants to explain it to me feel free to e-mail me. I think it's because I'm a guy! The movie captures the viewer via their emotions, so I imagine its appeal will be greater with women than men. I can say that it makes you care for Piper's character and you feel what she is going through. Of course, these are not things guys usually look for in a movie. I didn't think the plot holes were too large as other reviewers have stated. I will give my movies a little latitude in that area. I don't label something a plot hole just because the characters do not respond exactly how I would. Overall I gave it a 4 for two reasons: I think it will have limited appeal - very few men will like the movie - and the ending does not quite fit the "ground rules" laid out during the rest of the movie.

trixie-k-88 Lost and Delirious is a lesbian love story with lots of passion, but not much else to offer. It has some enjoyable parts, but the cliché cheesiness leave something to be desired.MaryBeth (Mischa Barton), or "Mouse" as she is often called, is a sheltered young teen who is sent to a boarding school. She is still recovering from the death of her mother a few years earlier, and has difficulty fitting in. However, Mary B is put in a room with Tori (Jessica Pare) and Paulie (Piper Parabo), two older girls who are very much in love. While she is clearly heterosexual, the love starved Mary B is comforted by the open displays of love and affection between her two roommates. Tori and Paulie also bond with Mary (nicknaming her "Mary Brave") and all share painful stories about being neglected or rejected by their parents. But things go into a downward spiral after Tori's younger sister and her friends find Paulie and Tori in bed together. Horrified at the idea of being disowned by her religious parents, Tori tells everyone that Paulie forced herself on her, and begins dating a boy at the nearby boys' school. Paulie is beyond devastated, and spends most of her time in the woods healing and training an injured hawk. Poor Mary B is stuck in the middle between a newly repressed Tori and mentally cracking Paulie. Paulie quickly becomes an outcast with Mary and the bird as her only companions. Despite Mary and a kind teacher trying to help her, Paulie continues deeper into her nervous breakdown. The movie ends on a heart breaking note for all parties, leaving a bitter taste in the viewer's mouth.Lost and Delirious feels…half baked. If anything it definitely got the passion and emotion down very well. The love scenes were great and some of the sad scenes were good. As stated earlier the plot was cliché. It followed that basic plot of a gay movie where one character is "gayer" than the other, and one tries to be straight. That can be good if the characters are very interesting or original, but they were not. Paulie's character just seemed like a lesbian, more unstable version of Julie from The Next Karate Kid, even more with the addition of the hawk. Piper Parabo is also such a dead ringer for Hilary Swank that it almost feels like plagiarism. The viewers know little information about Tori, other than the fact that she is a closeted lesbian and has "religious" parents. The fact that they are religious or conservative is only revealed when the girls are found out, and they act as though this has already been established. Mary B is the best developed character, but they try too hard to make all of her narrations poignant and meaningful, but most just come off as silly. Many aspects of the plot didn't seem to make sense. If Tori was so afraid of being outed why would she openly sleep naked with Paulie when she knew her sister often barged into her room? Why would she even do so when she first met Mary? Mary could've been a gossipy homophobe for all she knew! Paulie has such a clear and slow mental breakdown that it is painful to watch. She is so ignored that her family would have good grounds to sue the school for not forcing her into counseling or sending her home for psychiatric treatment. Some themes of the movie also irritate me. Despite being a lesbian movie it equates femininity with weakness, and the girls act "masculine" when they are being strong. On top of that, it depicts suicide (particularly suicide over a lost love) as beautiful. That is just… that's not in good taste, and a rather poor message. The conclusion was not very satisfying, and left me wondering more about the characters. Not to mention, I found the characters' reaction to the painful ending rather lacking in emotion, if not totally indifferent.Lost and Delirious is mediocre at best. The writing isn't great, the acting isn't great, and the plot isn't great. Is it terrible? Well, no. There are several things I liked about the film, mainly the fact it was narrated by a third party. I also liked the passion they were able to depict, despite the lacking script. But in general, it's too corny to be good.

paulabearr This movie is simply spectacular. No other movie has made me cry so hard before. This was amazingly done. Great filming. Great characters. Each character has a different personality that you get attached to. I can tell you right now, you will absolutely love this movie. Not even exaggerating, this made it to #1 on my movie list. This is a dramatic, romantic, and just amazing movie. There is so much symbolism in it, and so much more to enjoy. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't see it. You can feel pain for the characters in the story. I love how it is a 3rd person point of view looking at a lesbian relationship. This movie isn't even about lesbians--It is simply love. Finding love with a PERSON. I will be seeing this a second time. I give this movie a 10 for a reason. It deserves this.
