Sappho (2008)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Admirable film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Blistering performances.

This is almost the exact storyline of Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden. The acting in the movie Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden (2008) was better, though there were more girl/girl scenes in this one.I thought this was the better story, but the acting was strange. The lead actor in"Sappho" was easily the best. If the rest of the cast had been taken from Garden of Eden and put into this movie perhaps it would get 4 or 5 stars.Like I said, the story could have been good, but the acting was mediocre and unlike Sappho and Phil, the chemistry between Helene and Phil was non-existent. This is more of a movie you would watch just to look at all the beauty in it. The actors, Avalon Barrie, the guy who played Phil, and the scenery--the island and all the cinematography.Not really a fan of the crazy lesbian commits suicide in a jealous rage story. It's a bit overused, but at least some other movies act it out better.If you're going to watch this movie, you must also watch "Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden" to laugh at the parallels and even verbatim quotes.

This is a pretty cheesy soft-core flick about a love triangle between two girls and a guy. Other than that, it is completely implausible, ridiculous, uninteresting, and unimportant. What is the moral of the story, if you can call it a story? Lesbians are only lesbians when their men are away. What the . . . I wonder how many lesbians would agree with that. Any other guy in his right mind would divorce this sick woman in no time flat when she started acting like an insensitive freak; sorry to say most guys would probably just slap the heck out of her and be done with it, jail or no jail, and that probably would have prevented a suicide at least. Why did she marry this poor sap if she only cared about herself? It doesn't matter that she's having an affair with a woman, she just as well could be having an affair with a guy, what difference does it make. Hey guys, do you want your wife cheating on you on your honeymoon? ICK. I know some people get into that whole swinger thing, but that's just it, it's a choice. Doesn't seem like hubby has much of a choice here. He really doesn't want to get involved with the creepy Russian dingbat who is seducing his wife, but he plays along with it helplessly in order to try to save his marriage, then the freak offs herself, and he runs away with the Russian chick? This is worse than a soap opera. There are some beautifully shot scenes of Greek islands, granted, but this movie isn't all that. Do Greek islands turn people into a-holes? Doubt it. This movie is cheesy and dumb and boring and predictable and badly acted and the plot goes nowhere and the dubbing is annoying. The only thing interesting in this movie is that the lead looks, acts and talks just like a young Cameron Diaz, so it's kind of hot watching this Cameron look alike doing all graphic lesbian sex scenes. But... Since when do rocks not hurt the human body? There would be a lot of bruises after so many romps in the rocks. When this screwy rich girl acting like trailer trash starts reciting poetry we have to wonder who wrote this garbage. The animosity she shows toward her husband isn't nearly as boggling as why he puts up with it. And the ending, the ending . . .aaaaaaahhhhh!!!! WHAT A STUPID MOVIE.

A strange lyrical film, much like the ancient poetess's Sappho's own poetry. It has no violence, no car chases, no gunfights, and yet it manages to be enthralling and unpredictable.I won't tell the story, except that it's about a boy and a girl who wants to be a boy and a girl, and it all gets complicated.Here in Ukraine it was a big commercial success - the biggest in the history of our film industry - and also there was a very big reaction against this movie from the church and anti-gays. It seems there are two reactions to this film, either you love it, or you hate it. You can see that from the reactions here too.The acting lets the movie down a little bit, but only a little.

An American couple goes to Greece for their honeymoon, and soon after befriends a smart and beautiful Russian girl, who feels lonely on the island while her father does important archaeological work. You can probably guess where the movie plot is going, but yet it is full of surprises and unexpected psychological twists and turns. Without giving any spoilers away, I would say that the plot would keep you on the edge of your seat up until the very last scene (which I found shocking and somewhat regrettable). I especially liked the dialogs, full of eloquent allusions - they were quite thoughtful and sophisticated. And last, but not least - you get to see beautiful panoramic views of mesmerizing nature, sea, and shores as well as detailed scenes of town's life with its own cultural treasures and unique customs. And lots of tits and ass as well :)
