Movie Reviews of Loving Annabelle
Movie Review: soulful narration of an emotional saga
Summary: 5 Stars
Loving Annabelle is a soulful narration of an emotional saga. The performances by Erin Kelly and Diane Gaidry are enthralling. Katherine Brooks has handled a controversial subject with élan and sensitive ease. The music of the film captivates the senses. The plot progressively unfolds intricate layers that need to be explored and interpreted in order to appreciate the story fully.
The characters are well sketched - Annabelle is free spirited, defines her own rules and lives on her own terms. Simone is her antithesis. She is restrained and abides by the regulations prescribed by society and religion. She fights a hard battle with herself to resist Annabelle's disarming smile and relentless pursuit nonetheless develops a deep emotional connection with her. Simone's tragic vulnerability and Annabelle's heartfelt pining is noticeable during the annual school dance. Together they undergo the beautiful experience of `love without boundaries' that changes their lives forever.
Movie Review: C'mere Simone
Summary: 5 Stars
Call me silly, I thought this was a great film. I expected so much more out of the ending, but then again, it would've been a typical 'romance' film. This brought reality into the love story, although I still prefer the alternate ending. The stolen glances, the communication void of any spoken words...one of the scenes I love most is when they are at Simone's beach house, and Annabelle had just confronted Simone over her ex's suicide letter. After panning to the sand and beach, they show the two of them laying together in bed. Annabelle's leg draped over Simone's, her arm holding hers...it was such a sweet, innocent scene.
I really enjoyed the movie. I thought both actresses were gorgeous, I thought the love making scene was extraordinarily real...I only wish Simone brought a little more passion to the scene. When they finally give into each other outside of the dance, my stomach leapt wildly with anticipation.
Again, call me crazy, I just really loved this film.
Movie Review: One of the best... ever
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who has ever had a crush or been in love with someone older than they are, this movie is for you. And for anyone who has ever been torn between the past and the present, afraid to be who you are, or afraid to be in love, this movie is for you also.
This is the greatest lesbian love story that I have seen yet. It touches on desires that we have all had at one time, and gives us a glimpse of how hard it can be to deal with that desire. And what it is like to finally act on it. This movie is not about the right or wrong of the relationship, but about two women saving each other from themselves. One who is on a road to destruction if she can't correct her behavior. The other who needs to stop denying who she really is inside and forgive her love lost.
No matter who you are, no matter what your orientation, your age, or sex, if a love story you seek, a love story you find. This is one of the best.
Movie Review: Left me speechless...
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished watching this film. Wow. This was a fantastic film, and I'm amazed that it was made with such a small budget because it was extremely well done. The acting is great, and the story is both believable and deeply emotional; the dialogue and the characters make the story seem perfectly real. Katherine Brooks did an amazing job capturing real emotion, and she told a great story. Normally, I don't think I would be rooting for a student-teacher relationship, but this film was able to capture the image of true love and how love can't be stopped even by society's boundaries; I definitely supported Simone and Annabelle. Erin Kelly (Annabelle) made her character very believable, and Diane Gaidry (Simone) was able to show many emotions without words. The schoolgirls also did wonderful jobs conveying their characters.
I highly recommend this film, but only watch it if you have an open mind.
Movie Review: Forbidden Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok its about a teacher who falls for a student. Lets get that out of the way first. Yes, its bit squicky and wrong, but that's what forbidden love is isn't it?
This has one of the hotest moments I've seen in awhile, and its not the love scene. I'm talking about when the teacher is still resisting her feelings for Annabeele and has what turns out to be a very vivid dream about her and she has it in a church. I remember going "wow" when I saw it.
Forbidden love is always a difficult subject. Right or wrong, they loved each other. I liked the way the movie ended. I won't give it away but it left things open without being to angsty and "Chlidrens Houry" but it did show that there are repercussions to dangerous actions.
All in all one of my favorite lesbian films.
