Rating:  - HEY GIRL - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This movie is a total waste of money - don't buy it! It's really boring and nothing "good" happens until the last 30 minutes of the movie.
Rating:  - Tender and cute
Ok, it's not the best movie out there, but its certainly one worth watching. I found this movie to be sensual, sweet, respectful and just down right cute. Take into account, when it was made, how it was made, one can only say that this peace of work should be respected and embraced. If you have an ounce of romance in you and enjoy watching women on screen who embrace their art then you'll enjoy it too. By the way, did I mention there are also some really funny moments in it aswell? Southern Comfort...
Rating:  - Good movie but negative
I used to watch it when it have VHS long time ago. I love that movie. I thought of getting DVD to watch it again. BUT the negative thing is there is NO CLOSED CAPTIONED or SUBTITLE for Deaf, Hearing Impaired or Hard of Hearing people to watch it. It isnt worth it to buy it.
Rating: - The movie we lesbians love to hate!
OK, OK, we've all had years to take pot-shots at this semi-stinker of a movie...
What I hated: the acting is pretty bad, especially Trisha Todd. Yeesh, what a spoiled little brat her character was too! I hated the dialoge, so contrived and AWKWARD! In the "making of" tape, Conn describes the actress who plays Maggie as some sort of female Clark Gable - UGH! Wrinkled up truck driver with an overbite..not suave and sexy! The guy that Claire kept "doing it" with was annoying the heck out of me.
What I liked: the fact that Karen Trumbo is so sexy is about all that saved it for me. (except, did anyone notice that she kisses like she's about to swallow the other person whole??) I also liked the stretch when they began to find peace with each other and became friends. The fantasizing about each other was cool...
Definately of dubious quality, just a sexy setting, some good "tension", and a few funny lines...I think if most women are honest, there's a place for this on their shelves.
Rating:  - Yes, and No
Claire of The Moon is a movie about sexual awakening. The story is great, but the acting skills a bit to "stiff". We follow Claire's process from defining herself as a straight girl with many male partners, to becoming the lover of her female cabin mate at a writer's seminar. The movie depicts wonderfully the struggle Claire goes through and that is what makes this movie worth watching again and again. Another thing that makes this movie worth watching is the character Maggie. She is a strong character and the acting is GREAT. I would characterize Maggie as soft butch and that is rare to find in any film about lesbians. I love watching beautiful woman as much as the next person, but Maggie is a real life character that adds to this movie and I wish that more movie makers would celebrate diversity.
