Customer Reviews

Loved it!
I loved this film. Good acting, nice story and for once, the outcome is realistic. A teacher who sleeps with a student goes to prison. That is how it would work if the teacher was male so it is nice to see that realism, no matter how much we would like to see a happy ending. (there is an alternative ending on this DVD)

This is my favourite 'lesbian' film but one thing grates. Simone is far too passive. Right from the start, she lets Annabelle do & say all kinds of inappropriate things. I don't think my teacher would ever have accepted it if I stood close to her and fondled her necklace or touched her knee! She would have told me in no uncertain terms, but yet sensitive to my feelings, that is not acceptable. She would have told me that having feelings for a teacher is not uncommon but that it is not an option and that no relationship will ever happen between the two of us.

And yet, right from the start, Simone behaves as if Annabelle's advances towards her are normal. She even encourages her when she gives Annabelle a book and touches her hand when in the library.

This kind of behaviour would make more sense a bit further on in the story, when Simone has 'properly' fallen for Annabelle. The way it is now it just looks like Simone sees Annabelle for the first time and she is reduced to a gibbering mess right away. Seems a bit strange.

However, that is a small criticism for a film that I would recommend more than any other film I have seen in a long time.

I love it, love it, love it
treat yourself to this film, sit back and watch it with your partner, a bottle of wine and a takeaway and you will have your perfect night.
Good story, lovely women, I wish we all could meet someone with a nice house on the beach.
Only bad point was the alternative ending, I wish the ending could have been a bit longer, or maybe I just didn't want the film to end.

The Best Of All Possible Lesbian Movies!!!
This virtual remake of Madchen In Uniform is a surprising success as the story is seamlessly translated to present day America. The 2 leads are very personable with Erin Kelly showing why she is generating so much interest. Diane Gaidry uses her incredibly expressive face to great effect and her slow-burn acceptance of her feelings for her student is handled with sensitivity. Writer-Director Katherine Brooks has a sure touch and what might have been voyeuristic sleaze-fest becomes an engaging human drama. The DVD however offers one outstanding bonus - an alternate ending!! Now you can have the happy/sad ending of your choice, lesbian heaven!!!!!
