I found this movie to be good and decent to watch. The ending itself brought a tear to my eyes just a tad bit, and I found the storyline in itself to be something to remember. This movie was amazing and... Full review

The acting is easily the best part of this otherwise not terribly original plot. Forbidden love and broken-hearted suicide are often played out themes in so many movies and stories, but the directing and acting are both solid. With mininal supporting... Full review

Lost and Delirious is set in a girls' boarding school, and its treatment of the operatic highs and lows of young love and heartbreak feels right emotionally, even though the film tells its story rather awkwardly.
Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando and Edward Norton may be the most gloried acting trio this summer (in The Score ), but the women of Lost and Delirious more than ably represent filmdom's distaff side.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Lost and Delirious....This is the film's most effective insight, that experience can actually change the way kids (or adults, we might hope) think and act.....it isn't wholly awful, at least not at first.....The film was designed to be offensive and unsettling, part of an anti-censorship demonstration by Burroughs and her collaborators.....In a role that's all but impossible to play subtly, Perabo gives a brave performance.... ...

This is meant to be taken as the story of a great love that failed, but it's largely hearsay.
And it's simultaneously a young actress's dream role and a thankless role.
Mischa Barton and Jessica Par, by contrast, underplay and come off much better.

One of the most beautiful things Lost and Delirious does is the way it examines chatoyant of a friendship/relationship.
To manipulate characters labeled as good or bad seems something easily enough controlled, but generally it is something that is set and established from start to end, only increasing as the movie progresses.
