Impassioned -- if occasionally overwrought.

A well acted, sensual tale of lesbian romance set against the tumultuous setting of WWII and the Holocaust.

| Original Score: B | Aug 2, 2011

It's a breathtakingly beautiful film, never mawkish, never less than vibrantly real and never more affecting than when it explores the nature of a love that 'dare not speak its name', not in Nazi Germany

Startlingly poignant, Aime and Jaguar is a story about dreams. If you have ever dreamed, don't miss it.

A histria (real) interessante, mas o roteiro e a direo so enfadonhos. Grandes atuaes em um filme que no causa impacto, apenas sono.

Theatre director Max Frberbck could hardly have picked a more intense and heartbreaking story for his cinema debut.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 23, 2003

An enchanting and provocative love story.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

...a rich melange of tumultous and sensual events. The story, acting, direction, set design and costuming fluidly combine to give a passionate portrait of living and loving on the edge of despair in a place and time where there was no tomorrow.

A sophisticated and beautiful feature debut from German television director Max Frberbck.

While at times a bit too slow, especially during a handful of love scenes that verge on being gratuitous, the strength of the two lead actresses as desperate, devoted lovers is enough to engage audiences throughout the entire pic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2002

Certainly this is great dramatic fodder, and first-time feature film director Max Farberbock has given a terrific visual style, resonance, sense of hope and power to the material.

Based on a true story, though that doesn't really make it all that compelling.
