Summary: A very good film
Comment: I really enjoyed the movie Loving Annabelle because it was both a good story and incredibly factual. You really come to care about the characters in the movie and wonder how things worked out for them. The story is not overshadowed by the steamy scenes but enhanced. It is worth a chance, and you will be rewarded with an excellent movie.

Summary: This one requires a strong stomach
Comment: From the beginning of this movie, I just couldn't shake the feeling of how wrong it is - this teacher becoming involved with a student. It's more than the fact that Annabelle is under 18.... Just like parents and clergy, teachers hold a unique place of trust, authority and responsibility. Even though Annabelle was the one who pursued the relationship, that doesn't make it any more okay for Simone to cross the line.
As much as I had hoped that this would be a good movie (based on the overall good reviews), the relationship between these two was just plain inappropriate and it grossed me out! I still shudder when I think of it.
If this movie had been about a mother and her daughter becoming sexually involved, that would have disgusted me. Simone, a clearly much older woman, was Annabelle's teacher and dorm monitor. The relationship between them should have been parental in nature, never sexual.
As for other elements? The acting was not great, but I've seen worse. The filming was average - again, I've seen worse, but I've seen a lot better too. Aside from the BIG issue of a teacher becoming sexually involved with a student, I would rate the film perhaps 2 or 2.5 stars at best. Throw in the teacher-student aspect and my resulting nausea and I can't give this better than 1 star.

Summary: Well-Done
Comment: A very well-done film about a very misunderstood subject. Full of romance, beauty, integrity and sensuality, this film takes you through a young teacher's struggle with the pain of the past and the younger woman who awakens in her the hidden depths of her suppressed longings.
The nexus of human emotions, love and spiritual longing have no relationship to the focal point of vulgarity that society often pivots on in their scope and interpretation about such matters between two people of the same sex. Unless you know and live it, you can't understand. But you may well try; in which case, this is a great film with which to start.
