Lost and Delirious

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lost and Delirious becomes exactly that, as the film sinks into overwrought melodrama and cliched, obvious symbolism.

11/10/2024 This movie is so good their acting and over all it's like the real life story. See more manudehumanas 03/28/2024 Pessima representaçao See more Frans G 03/12/2024 Engaging film, fine actors, intense and heartfelt scenes, smart dialogues, maybe a little too much drama See more Lovely P 04/23/2023 The film explores love and sexuality in a time when it was not accepted, creating a compelling and emotional story that will tug at your heartstrings. If you're a fan of historical dramas, or if you're interested in exploring queer stories from the past, "Lost and Delirious" is definitely a film worth checking out. See more dave s 07/24/2021 Lost and Delirious is a movie with its heart in the right place, but somehow manages hit all of the wrong notes. Tory (Jessica Pere) and Paulie (Piper Perabo) are roommates and lovers at a private girls' school and all is going well until they are found in bed together. Tory denies anything that hints of lesbianism while Paulie becomes an outcast, unravelling at the thought of never being with Tory again. The dialogue is trite and sounds like it's being read off of tele-prompters by the lead actors. The soundtrack and score never seem to match the scene. The directorial choices are often questionable, including the occasions where scenes slip needlessly into slow motion. On top of all of that, the sword duel at the end is laughable. This is a case of a movie that you really want to like, but leaves you wincing in disappointment. See more 07/21/2021 It's a bit heavy on the adolescent romanticism, but the cast is convincing and I especially appreciated the fact that the story wasn't caught in the trappings of boarding school dramas. To me, Tori's nonnegotiable U-turn - arguably a lazy screenwriting plot device - remains puzzling and nowhere near justified enough, however Paulie's steely determination is almost heartbreaking.
