Movie Reviews of Lost and Delirious
Movie Review: Perabo's brilliant, Par? glows
Summary: 4 Stars
When teenagers go to boarding school
Close friendships they may form
But when the hormones start to rage
It heats up in the dorm
Mary "Mouse" is new at school
She's shy and so alone
She shares a room with two close friends
Who make her feel at home
But after hours when all is still
Although she's not too nosy
She notices they're kinda close
And keep each other cozy
She's not alarmed, she's fine with it
But others aren't so happy
And when the cat is out the bag
The relationship turns cr@ppy
When Tori Moller chickens out
it's time for shattered hearts
When Paulie tries to win her back
The drama really starts
Perabo's brilliant, Par? glows
Barton provides the glue
I liked this one, although it's dark
And so, I think, will you

Movie Review: fairly mediocre
Summary: 3 Stars
While this moving is enjoyable to watch, as a film, I don't find it very well done. The acting is a little awkward and the storyline itself needs some help. The Shakespeare thing got tiring after a while; it got pretty annoying. That being said, if you're a lesbian I do recommend the movie. What I say to straight people is that imagine if virtually all the people around you, on TV, in books and in movies were gay. Anyway the movie is pretty ok, I would say.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen hundreds, probably thousands of films in my time, but this is the first time that one has moved me enough to write a review.
Having glanced through some of the reviews already in place, I can only come to the conclusion that some of the negative ones were probably written by teenage boys hoping for some kind of teen-lesbo-fest. They came to the wrong place!
Lost & Delirious isn't focused on lesbianism, or even teenage sex - it's focused on the power that there is in relationships to build up and tear down the fragile foundations of emotional stability.
Lost & Delirious covers a wide variety of subjects throughout its course; first love, forbidden relationships, social stigma, peer pressure, rejection and ultimately the importance of being true to yourself.
Although the obvious focus of the film is on the breakdown of a relationship and the events that unfold from that, the underlying message for me is about the importance of family life. The three main characters in this film are all victims of failed parenting - a fundamental cracking of their emotional foundations which ultimately precipitates the downward spiral and the tragic conclusion of the film.
It's strange that even though you can pretty much see where the film is headed from fairly early on, it's no less poignant when it gets there.
The performances from all three girls is excellent, but Piper Perabo absolutely steals the show. She gives an utterly heart-wrenching performance throughout and manages something which many of these types of film fail to do... Most films depicting teenage angst quickly get me to the point of yelling 'get over yourself' at the screen, but Perabo somehow manages to take you with her throughout the whole piece, even when she is starting to lose her grip and descend into despair. Up to the very last moment my urge was to want to reach in and save her from the inevitable ending.
Sadly, I expect the sensitive subject matter or 'teen lesbian' monicker will put a lot of people off this movie. And it really is a shame because I found it profoundly moving. Like the first time I watched 'Beaches' or the above-mentioned 'Dead Poets Society', I suspect this movie will never leave me...
Movie Review: amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
Lost & Delirious is an amazing movie but it has some faults. It was a little to short and to fast with the storyline. Its like Tori's sister sees them in bed a thats it. Tori drops Paulie like shes nothing. If you love someone that much i dont think you would do that to them if you deeply truly love them. The end was also bad too. Im not gonna tell you but its a cliff hanger. I hate cliff hangers so much!!! I wanted to know what happened. But at the end it comes out as a 5 star move for me.Movie Review: A Huge Brown Stain on the Motion Picture Industry

Oh my God, where to begin with this tragic obliteration of film-making + storytelling. First of all, I want to go on record by saying that any individuals that actually thought this film was good in any way are definately lost + delirious themselves. These people are obviously mislead, unfortunate viewers who are most likely lesbians themselves, and wouldn't know a good film if it fell off of a hundred story buiding, then landed right on top of them. Nobody who's in a right state of mind, and has good taste in films would ever consider giving this movie a single positive thought. That being said, I'll get straight to the point. Okay, this film was so bad, so unbelievably terrible it actually accomplished what I once thought impossible. It made Batman + Robin look like a good film. The story told was meaningless, and you don't have to be a lesbian to appreciate this film. The acting was non-existent. A pathetic attempt by both actress, director + especially writer at telling a story that is embarassingly displayed in the biggest waste of 2 hours I have ever seen. I had to laugh to myself every 5 minutes watching these dumb girls try to convince myself + others that what they're doing is real, and worthy of anyone's attention. As irrelevant as it may seem, the music was also completely, annoyingly stupid. I don't want to ruin the ending for anyone who hasn't yet witnessed the horror that is Lost + Delirious. But, it doesn't matter anyway. Really. These idiots are watching a bird fly away as if it's more interesting to them then the splattered, bloody remains of the main caracter that lies before them on the sidewalk. "Oh, how terrible, she just killed herself right in front of us. But, look everyone, nevermind that, there's a pretty birdie flying away!" Need I say more? I think not. In Hollywood's lengthly history there have been truck-loads + truck-loads of films that have been complete, utter crap, but this one.....well, let's just say there aren't enough trucks in the world. In the end, I highly recommend to anyone who values good movies, and the time that is short + precious in your lives, DO NOT see this movie, unless you're looking for something to laugh at, not with. Do not put money into these losers pockets. I think it's sad that there are imbecilic people that actually green-light projects such as these, polluting video store shelves. And to all the people involved in the making of this horrendous movie; get into a different line of work, because this is not art, but a waste of man-power, money + people's time.
