A Haunting and Captivating Film..., 20 February 2005
8/10
Author: jimgo3 from Michigan, USA

"David & Lisa" is a quite out of the ordinary movie. The style borders on a documentary. Once begun, it commanded my full attention throughout. Keir Dullea and Janet Margolin played their title roles to perfection! The black and white cinematography amplified the character's sad plight, of being outside of reality and looking in.

If there is a message in the film, it would be that non-threatening trust may be the only key to certain locks.

In a personal observation, from a male's viewpoint, Janet Margolin's natural beauty and manner had me falling in love, yet once again...

Excellent entertainment, accurate or not.
