Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

leplatypus The content is actually a bit hot: a young couple goes into vacations and each one loves and get intimate alone or together with the same woman… Today, it would be an almost porn movie whereas in the 80s, it's like a spicy enchanted experience: sure the movie is lucky to have a young Darryl but we don't see much of her skin and we recall foremost her soft, sweet attitude! In addition, their vacation happens in the most beautiful place for that, Santorini Island! I went there like us, in the summer and really, blue sky, blue sea, white houses are really like paradise! It's filled with great pop songs of the 80s (Johnny & Mary) and the story has the real flavor of those summer loves that never last. So it's really a great movie, just to get out of a dark, bleak daily life!!

sussmanbern If you're a woman, you've probably always wanted to visit the Mediterranean islands, bask in the bright bright sunshine, swim in the blue blue water, and dance on the white sandy beaches.And if you're a guy, you're probably always wanted to make it with two good looking babes who seem to be OK about that arrangement.Either way, you get your wish with SUMMER LOVERS. Michael and Cathy (Peter Gallagher and Daryl Hannah), two college-age sweethearts have come to a Greek island as a sort of pre-nup romp. It's a little tough to figure out if either of them has a genuine job back in the States; Michael seems to have some slight interest in photography and Cathy has some slight interest in painting. Now you might suppose that Daryl Hannah would be more than satisfactory for any man alive, but before many days pass Michael is taking an interest in a sweet young thing in a neighboring cabin, Lena (Valerie Quennessen). Michael pursues her, chats her up, accompanies her to a nude beach, and manages to do with her what you might want to do if you didn't have Daryl Hannah waiting at home for you.Almost immediately Michael is bringing Lena into his and Cathy's cabin, and it's sort of obvious immediately to Cathy that Michael expects her to make room in bed for Lena. Here I have to admit that my experience in such matters is very limited; I have never romanced anyone of Daryl Hannah's caliber, and if I did I am sure I would not risk it by introducing an unnecessary explosive like Valerie Quennessen. So I am somewhat astonished that Cathy doesn't require much persuasion to move over darling for Lena.We have a brief moment of comic relief when Cathy's uptight mom (Barbara Rush) pops in for a brief visit to discover that what should have been a bonding preparatory for her daughter's wedding has turned into a three- way. Then Lena wants to get analytical and decides that the relationship is too superficial and leaves. Instead of her absence giving Michael and Cathy an opportunity to tighten up, the both of them seem to miss her keenly. What they don't know is that Lena also misses them - although, as she already pointed out, they don't even know her last name.Spoiler: A couple of weeks later their vacation is over, Michael and Cathy are supposed to fly back to the States. But Lena rides her motorscooter over to the little airport and they all hug and kiss, and then run away from the airplane to continue their island love affair. Except, of course, Michael and Cathy have run out of money and their visas have expired and they are not permitted to get any jobs locally, and they don't speak the language, and Lena has none of those problems but how long can she sustain those two nitwits.This is a fantasy -- nice sunny beaches, Daryl Hannah and Valerie Quennessen not wearing much. Like most of your fantasies, if this somehow became reality for you, so you'd have to live it through, it would turn into a real nightmare.

marulez A fantastic movie! I really liked it! Too bad they haven't released this movie on a wide screen FULL HD BluRay! I hope they will in the near future though. I think this is the only movie with a Menage A Trois with a happy ending I've found so far. Most movies about Menage A Trois usually end up with a break-up, cheating or other strange things. Why won't the Hollywood directors make more movies like this one? I like how the trio couple was shown having fun, dancing in clubs, drinking, going to the beach, a very beautiful scene. There's just one thing which the director could have added to this movie... making the 2 girls kiss each other and all but anyway even without that, the movie is a masterpiece which deserves to be released on BluRay, for being ONE of a kind!

ollie4ever I saw this movie as a young man. It not only introduced me to nudity as a whole but also true love between both sexes in a wholesome fashion. It had an impact on me. The movie although showing many beautiful bodies showed many that were not. I found that if you concentrate on the person instead of the body, everyone was beautiful (except the guy who ripped the girl's shirt. In life, if we were more like the people in this film, our hangups with the nude body would disappear. This movie was one of my first stepping stone to that fact. It gave me the courage to visit a nudist camp and bring my family. The love story was also very touching with the understanding that love can be had by all involved in a relationship. The french girl showed the American Couple that all three of them had a strong bond that could not be broken. A truly beautiful film even if many do not see the bigger picture.
