Powerful and heartbreaking. Absolutely worth the watch.
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.
Never wanted to punch a little girl more
Known for the famous coming out scene and is definitely worth the watch,movie is black and white,same as the way things were seen in the 60s
Watched it awhile ago and still remember it
Flawless. The storyline is tragic. Has a heartbreaking ending, and very ahead for it's time. Not for a happy mood hour.
It has a very sad and touching ending I loved the concept of the movie and society is very much homophobic
Pretty forward for it's time, I liked it
The little girl in this is the most annoying character in all of cinema.
