It is a beautiful movie. If you're looking for a good lesbian movie to cry to, this is it.

While there are some things that remain dated, there's a kernel of a universal truth to how it feels to be discriminated just for being you.

Flawless. The storyline is tragic. Has a heartbreaking ending, and very ahead for it's time. Not for a happy mood hour.
