Trivia

In the scene when Annabelle leaves the end-of-year ball with St. Peters to retrieve her guitar and the music for a song she wrote earlier, a poster is plainly visible on the wall above her bedside table, featuring the band that originally wrote and performed the song she is about to sing.

Goofs

When Annabelle goes to Simone's room after the day at the beach, in the first shot of Simone staring at the ceiling the bedside clock is clearly reading 11:29. The scene cuts back to Annabelle starting to knock on the door then hesitating and leaving. The next shot, again of Simone, shows the clock reading 11:24, a jump backward in time.

User Reviews

Very good movie

This is an excellent lesbian film. The performances are really good, though the storyline could have used a bit more enhancement. I felt that it began too quickly and ended too abruptly. It seemed as though the interest between the teacher and student was just suddenly thrust upon us without enough development. Then I felt that there was not enough time developing their relationship before it ended. Still, it was a very beautiful and enjoyable movie. The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack is superb. I highly recommend this film if you enjoyed "Summer of Love" or "All Over Me", as it reminded me a lot of these films.
