To be honest, I thought this movie was pretty terrible. It was slow and the acting was terrible... especially from Sappho, played by Avalon Barrie. It seemed too forced, and was simply obnoxious.

I guess if you want to see boobs and people, especially girls, in general getting it on, then this movie is for you. But even then, I wouldn't really recommend it, I'm sure there are other, better ways to see those things.

Allow me to summarize: So a couple on their honeymoon, a painter and a "free spirit" meet a young lonely Russian. The wife is drawn into a lesbian relationship with the Russian and encourages her husband to also love the woman. Then jealousy erupts and the husband and Russian seem to be in love, and the wife doesn't love the husband, but does love the Russian, who doesn't love her back, even though she corrupted her into being a lesbian in the first place. Concluded with a horrible ending, by any means, disrespectful and in general just inappropriate.

On the upside the view is beautiful throughout the film.

Not the best, but certainly not the worst movie dealing with lesbianism that I've ever seen. The acting was pretty poor, especially in the beginning and it was wrought with clichés (especially the awful crazy/dead lesbian one). But, it did have it's moments. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous and I loved the soft colors. Sappho, played by Avalon Barrie, starts off as a very irritating character, but as you get further into the film, you start to realize that she's like that because she's always repressed who she really was and even when she's trying to break free of her old self, no one will take her seriously. I admit that the end of the film where she is rejected by Helena made me feel really bad for her. The ideas in this story are good, I just felt as if they weren't executed well enough.

I know it is fictitious story and not a real one. But, come on! At least be realistic! Now, she has decided to suicide after she just met a person who is clearly trying to take her husband in a very very clear way the whole time of the movie? Also, the husband acting like he doesn't know what's happening and that it is not OK!!!

Sorry but, all of that is not believable to be possible.

At least, if that Russian girl at the end just said that she did not expect that she would do it, it would make it a bit more realistic.

THIS IS EXCTLY WHY I SAY IT IS THE FICTITIOUS AND EXTREMELY BAD WRITING, ESPECIALLY, THE UNREALISTIC ENDING !!!

Three stars and I chose 3 only for some Music covers and the beautiful filming place and the prestigious performance of the lead actress ..

Other than these .. I see only failure .. Really.

This is a pretty cheesy soft-core flick about a love triangle between two girls and a guy. Other than that, it is completely implausible, ridiculous, uninteresting, and unimportant. What is the moral of the story, if you can call it a story? Lesbians are only lesbians when their men are away. What the . . . I wonder how many lesbians would agree with that. Any other guy in his right mind would divorce this sick woman in no time flat when she started acting like an insensitive freak; sorry to say most guys would probably just slap the heck out of her and be done with it, jail or no jail, and that probably would have prevented a suicide at least. Why did she marry this poor sap if she only cared about herself? It doesn't matter that she's having an affair with a woman, she just as well could be having an affair with a guy, what difference does it make. Hey guys, do you want your wife cheating on you on your honeymoon? ICK. I know some people get into that whole swinger thing, but that's just it, it's a choice. Doesn't seem like hubby has much of a choice here. He really doesn't want to get involved with the creepy Russian dingbat who is seducing his wife, but he plays along with it helplessly in order to try to save his marriage, then the freak offs herself, and he runs away with the Russian chick? This is worse than a soap opera. There are some beautifully shot scenes of Greek islands, granted, but this movie isn't all that. Do Greek islands turn people into a-holes? Doubt it. This movie is cheesy and dumb and boring and predictable and badly acted and the plot goes nowhere and the dubbing is annoying. The only thing interesting in this movie is that the lead looks, acts and talks just like a young Cameron Diaz, so it's kind of hot watching this Cameron look alike doing all graphic lesbian sex scenes. But... Since when do rocks not hurt the human body? There would be a lot of bruises after so many romps in the rocks. When this screwy rich girl acting like trailer trash starts reciting poetry we have to wonder who wrote this garbage. The animosity she shows toward her husband isn't nearly as boggling as why he puts up with it. And the ending, the ending . . .aaaaaaahhhhh!!!! WHAT A STUPID MOVIE.

Yet another lesbian drama (set, of course, on the Isle of Lesbos) where the "transgression" of lesbianism is punished by the death of at least one of them. The relative tedium of the movie is offset by the lovely scenery (oh, and the island's pretty, too), along with the amusingly bad acting of, well, pretty much everyone. So, to sum up: lovely women getting naked (good!); plot, acting, script, direction: bad! (Unfortunately, though, not bad enough to give it cult status.) I'd say that if you were stuck on a desert (Greek) island with just one movie, and it were "Sappho" ... oh, you poor thing. On the other hand, it might help you pass those long, lonely nights (just fast forward.)

This is almost the exact storyline of Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden. The acting in the movie Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden (2008) was better, though there were more girl/girl scenes in this one.

I thought this was the better story, but the acting was strange. The lead actor in"Sappho" was easily the best. If the rest of the cast had been taken from Garden of Eden and put into this movie perhaps it would get 4 or 5 stars.

Like I said, the story could have been good, but the acting was mediocre and unlike Sappho and Phil, the chemistry between Helene and Phil was non-existent.

This is more of a movie you would watch just to look at all the beauty in it. The actors, Avalon Barrie, the guy who played Phil, and the scenery--the island and all the cinematography.

Not really a fan of the crazy lesbian commits suicide in a jealous rage story. It's a bit overused, but at least some other movies act it out better.

If you're going to watch this movie, you must also watch "Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden" to laugh at the parallels and even verbatim quotes.

The beginning of the movie started out as a movie that looked like it was going to go someplace. but the character of Helen didn't make since she had never been sexual with a man because no man was interested in her so she was a "lesbian" only ever being intimate with women. She made the first move on Sappho and got her to fall in both love and lust with her then said she didn't want to be with her after she(Helen) slept with Sappho's husband. This rejection causes Sapho to end up dead in the end.
