7/10
Better than the reviews or ratings let on

Warning: Spoilers
I'm surprised to find so many reviewers throwing invectives such as "amateurish" or "boring" or "indy"(though it is) at this film. From the interesting camera angles (opening sequence) to the lockers on-high, to the very tastefully done bedroom montage with the girl-on-girl action in nearly black and white with stunning shadows (more like a bijou pictorial strung artfully together on film), I credit the director with pulling together what could have been a huge mess of a movie...except it's well-thought out and only strays when delving into trite stereotypes (e.g., the vampy wife in the convertible; the too-gay high school geek friend, the mother who catches the two girls in her bed -- this is hopelessly unoriginal and predictable from the start). Otherwise, I didn't find the acting amateurish and found the girls' relationship believable and authentic.
