The film is raved to be the forecasted best lesbian film of the year, but I didn’t like it. Maybe Sam falling asleep barely a few minutes into the movie triggered my annoyance with it, but I simply didn’t like the fact that the movie portrayed the protagonist as some psycho lesbian predator.
It was definitely intense, the feelings the protagonist possesses for her “prey”, but for it to be intense to the extent of being psycho turned me off.
I don’t really blame Sam for falling asleep I guess. The film resonated thick British and Irish accents and had no subtitles, so Sam could not understand what was happening and thus the beckoning of dreamland enticed her.
The title of the movie is such that you question whether the student-teacher affair is the only scandal touched on, but the film appears more to me as The Diary of a Psycho instead.
Or maybe I’m just biased, disliking movies that depict homosexuals in a negative way. Watching this film gave me the impression that people who watch it will bring home the idea that lesbians are intense psychos who are obsessively possessive towards their prey.
