Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Each character is both loved and despised for their unique combinations of strengths and flaws, and the chemistry within this cast is evident from the opening scenes. Rated: 4/5 Sep 15, 2019 Full Review Rachel Brook One Room With A View Heartland makes for a sad and frustrating near miss, with its greater potential as apparent as its flaws. Rated: 2/5 Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Erik Anderson AwardsWatch Velinda Godfrey, who plays Lauren, co-wrote the script that is full of warmth and honesty and is fantastic in her feature film debut. Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Richard von Busack MetroActive Here's to a director who knows that a love scene should tell a story about what the characters have been through, and not just be an erotic display for us. And here's to a director who prefers a well-played, hopeful ending to a forced happy one. Jun 2, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

N C depressing unhumanitarian overall bad movie it made me feel less than because the mom hit the son verbally and went against the family values. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review James S It was such a great series and they screwed it up, Season 14 was the last one you could watch then they shortened it to 10 shows a season. They ruined the series Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartland may not be "Gone with the wind" or "The Seventh Seal" or "Ugetsu", but it's a very good film. The action develops slowly enough to allow you to empathize with the characters, especially with the contradictory feelings of Lauren. The two young actress design two very peculiar characters: Lauren, the seducer, who is irresistibly attractive because of her livelihood and her warmth; Carrie, a woman who has put into brackets spontaneity and passion, discovers how she can have real and deep feelings thanks to Lauren, even though, or perhaps because, her affair with Lauren destroys the flat and conventional relationship she was having with her fiancé. She was herself a very conventional being, almost abstract, incapable of going beyond convention, but she is kind of reborn thanks the deep emotions that she feels with Lauren. All this is very quickly, almost casually expressed; by rapid dialogues, in a very delicate way, through understatements. The film contains many other things beside that: the relationship between Lauren and her brother, that becomes suddenly a complex mixture of love and resentment; and the figure of the mother, unbearable and still beloved... The movie is complex and apparently simple. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the worst lesbian movie I have ever seen in my life and I have seen my fair share of B rated lesbian movies. The acting is bad, but the writing is worse. This chick made me watch it and she better be glad she’s cute because I just wasted an hour and a half of my life! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/19 Full Review Audience Member Compelling plot but missing the big feels. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautifully told story from a talented cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
