Their characters may feel lost, but Ms. Perabo and Ms. Par rank among the finds of the year.

Barely skirting the lip of the ridiculous.
Full Review | Jul 27, 2001
Pool and Thompson have turned a tough-minded, solid narrative into a campy piece of kitsch that panders to teenage angst.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 27, 2001
Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.
| Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2001
Equally earnest and unconvincing.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 20, 2001
Its treatment of the operatic highs and lows of young love and heartbreak feels right emotionally, even though the film tells its story rather awkwardly.

Pool is an assured director, not afraid to explore the darker side of adolescence with integrity.

Isn't it possible to be true to one's heart without self-destructing?
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 19, 2001
Stirred within me memories of that season in adolescence when the heart leaps up in passionate idealism -- and inevitably mingles it with sexual desire.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 13, 2001
Weighty stuff for the Bring It On or Legally Blonde summer crowd. For the rest, Lost and Delirious is a welcome antidote.

Pool can't avoid force-feeding us metaphors -- avian to Shakespearean -- whenever she wants.
Full Review | Jul 6, 2001
Pool captures the crazed urgency of first love -- the feeling of a passion so fierce that even a disapproving society can't crush it.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2001
It's a good, slick film, if less interesting then Pool's earlier, more personal French-language efforts.

[Pool is] working with a bigger budget, glossier production values and a much dumber script ... than usual.

The film's title refers to its heroine but ends up describing the movie itself.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 6, 2001
It often has a camp ludicrousness, evoking an 'Afterschool Special' inspired by the pages of Penthouse Forum.

The people who made this movie apparently aren't satisfied just to let you see something when they can talk about it too.
