5.0 out of 5 stars dont prejudge!, 10 Jan 2007

By	RD - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Loving Annabelle [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

When I first read the synopsis on the back of the box i was a bit put off. Let's be honest a teacher-student relationship just isn't right in society.
I'm glad I took the leap and watched this though because there's a lot more to it than that. Firstly, it isn't about this sordid affair but what comes before the inevitable. The story is treated with due respect and unfolds in a tasteful manner that draws you into the feelings of both characters. The torment of a teacher trying to stay in control and the desire and passion of a student not afraid to feel and push boundaries.

Annabelle is the rebellious daughter of a senator who is sent to a Catholic boarding school in an attempt to tame her. Simone is her teacher and head of the dorm she is placed in. From the very beginning Annabelle takes an interest in Simone and aims to befriend her and challenge her emotions and beliefs. The maturation of the relationship is beautiful to watch as it is complex and has the student leading the teacher forward into the world.

The cinematography is fantastic. I would recommend this movie just for that alone. The scenes flow fluidly serving to accentuate the inherent meanings and emotion behind them. You get drawn in without your knowledge until you are one with the characters.
The beautiful soundtrack (which i wish was available on cd!!) makes a huge difference with meaningful songs well placed in the movie adding to the wonderful scene selections and acting.

Trust me, you want to watch this movie. It does not aim to justify but tell a story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet love story., 15 Jul 2007

By	Sarah Kerry "sarahbridgetkerry" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Loving Annabelle [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

This is a lovely story about how sometimes you just cant fight your feelings even if you know you could get in trouble. Not your typical school child crush on a teacher but a real love story that you get pulled into. Fantastic story and well written.
Set in a catholic boarding school this story is based on an out of control girl who from day one finds herself attracted to her poetry teacher and how a friendship can turn to love.
Very well actored, beautiful soundtrack. I would definately recomend to watch. Just a lovely Love Story. One thing i will say is be sure to watch the extra's...especially the alternate ending which I found answered more questions.
Enjoy every one. I hoped this helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it, love it, love it, 22 Sep 2007

By	vino "wino" (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Loving Annabelle [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

treat yourself to this film, sit back and watch it with your partner, a bottle of wine and a takeaway and you will have your perfect night.
Good story, lovely women, I wish we all could meet someone with a nice house on the beach.
Only bad point was the alternative ending, I wish the ending could have been a bit longer, or maybe I just didn't want the film to end.
