Pessima representaçao

Mar 12, 2024

Engaging film, fine actors, intense and heartfelt scenes, smart dialogues, maybe a little too much drama

Apr 23, 2023

The film explores love and sexuality in a time when it was not accepted, creating a compelling and emotional story that will tug at your heartstrings. If you're a fan of historical dramas, or if you're interested in exploring queer stories from the past, "Lost and Delirious" is definitely a film worth checking out.

Lost and Delirious is a movie with its heart in the right place, but somehow manages hit all of the wrong notes. Tory (Jessica Pere) and Paulie (Piper Perabo) are roommates and lovers at a private girls' school and all is going well until they are found in bed together. Tory denies anything that hints of lesbianism while Paulie becomes an outcast, unravelling at the thought of never being with Tory again. The dialogue is trite and sounds like it's being read off of tele-prompters by the lead actors. The soundtrack and score never seem to match the scene. The directorial choices are often questionable, including the occasions where scenes slip needlessly into slow motion. On top of all of that, the sword duel at the end is laughable. This is a case of a movie that you really want to like, but leaves you wincing in disappointment.

It's a bit heavy on the adolescent romanticism, but the cast is convincing and I especially appreciated the fact that the story wasn't caught in the trappings of boarding school dramas. To me, Tori's nonnegotiable U-turn - arguably a lazy screenwriting plot device - remains puzzling and nowhere near justified enough, however Paulie's steely determination is almost heartbreaking.

saw this on HBO MAX of course as a fellow bisexual I was interested too see this hoping it would be good . Honestly kinda boring pretty much Pauli is obsessed with Victoria because Victoria is the only one in Pauli life that has actually loved her but when Victoria sister catches them in bed Victoria can't handle it because she doesn't want people to know she's gay or even her parents since her sister caught her so she decided to end things with Pauli and move on to a guy . But Pauli can't handle it because she doesn't want to lose the only person that has actually ever loved her so she starts acting out and does whatever it takes to get back Victoria but Victoria doesn't want her because Victoria chooses her reputation over Pauli so Pauli kills herself the end to be set free because she keeps going back to the "rapture " honestly " Mary " to me personally shouldn't have been in the movie I didn't care about her because she didn't do anything except have a basic story line of my mother died can't remember loves to garden and is the middle man nothing to rave about it for the whole movie disappointed

No matter your sexual orientation, this is a really great movie about LOVE! Funny, sad, emotional, raw. A great performance by the 3 leading ladies!

Incredible performances and a powerful message, undermined by clutching to cliches and lacking subtlety.

Two young ladies embark on a torrid lesbian love affair. Trouble is they are still at school, a Canadian boarding school. A third girl, their roomate, discreetly pretends not to notice or care about what is happening in the next bed. Trouble starts when one of the lovers young sister and several of her classmates burst into the room on a morning after. Emotions and prejudices surface leaving the one girl with little choice but to end the love affair. This leads the other lover into an emotionally driven descent into the dark psychology of such relationships. Making a forlorn attempt to bring her lover back to her, and a very real threat to her former lovers new love, a boy. Difficult to follow in places. Full of the usual north American high school stuff. Yet, thought-provoking, emotional and thoroughly well acted.

Lost and Delirious [US, 2001] It should be okay if it didn't try too hard on making a point. 5/10

Aug 1, 2014

it started off decent but it kinda lost my interest as the story went on..

May 25, 2014

A sobering yet refreshing look at young love told in the unusual fashion of GLBT teens. Perabo, a favorite of mine, and Pare' make a wonderful couple, but as in many romances, something goes wrong and that is the crux of the story. The ambiguous, native American inspired ending detracted from the overall effectiveness of the movie. Impressed with director Pool's first outing.

Kind of crazy on a bad way

Painful and Beautiful at every angle

es sobre el descubrimiento de la sexualidad y sus retos, te arriesgas a seguir tu corazon o lo que la sociedad decida por ti... tragica movie!!

Oct 10, 2013

This is basically Romeo and Juliet...star crossed lovers who's family won't allow for their union. Just modernized and Romeo happens t be a manic depressive 15 year old. girl. Mary plays the role of the narrator...and nanny?

I loved it!!!! Simply loved it.

Jul 23, 2013

Decent story but would have been better if the Macbeth parallelisms were made more subtle. FYI Mischa Barton is not the world's best actress.
