I see a lot of negative reviews because it didn't have a cliche' ending, and saying it wasn't a coming of age lesbian high school story. I believe this movie is a very realistic coming of age lesbian story. When I was in highschool, it wasn't something you could come out with and be. There were a lot of girls who were gay, but would hide it. When they would get exposed, they would pull the "I was drunk" "It was forced" card. I think this movie's story line is a great depiction of coming out. I believe there was a happy ending and a great message at the end. Anne was falsely accused by Sasha, sexually assaulted and bullied by her best friend Cliff for being gay. She was happy at the end because after telling a complete stranger that she was gay, she felt a huge weight off her chest and she can be who she truly is. This movie get 5 stars because they rushed the story. They focused on small moments instead of the characters. They spend more time on the friend Cliff (straight guy) instead of what the story line is about....lesbians. By the time this movie gets to the point, you're annoyed at how they made light of everything, and sympathized with the guy who sexually assaulted and bullied the main character Anne. This movie had a lot of potential, but i believe the problems are with directing.
