1.5/5
Preminger doesn't direct movies as much as he makes frontal assaults on them. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 05/08/2013
All this is well mounted and lensed but sans the right dramatic flourishes to get human depth, melodramatic gusto or humane symbolism into the right focus. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader 05/08/2013
The style hesitates between no-stops melodrama and glacial reserve without really finding a meaningful perspective on the action. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews 08/21/2016
1/4
I'll say this for Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon. It's a film that takes a big roll of the dice. Is it wrenching? Is it wacky? Well, it's definitely weird. Go to Full Review TV Guide 05/08/2013

A scarred young woman, a paraplegic homosexual, and an epileptic decide to throw in their lots together in this earnest comedy-drama. Sound like fun? It isn't. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/13/2021 not great, but it passes the time. See more 12/03/2020 I always cite this as the worst movie I ever saw. It was so cringe-worthy I'm surprised I didn't suffer muscle spasms. I only stayed through it because I was at a drive-in with friends. See more 10/18/2017 When I finished this movie, I thought, “WTF was that?” This is one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen and not in a good way. The plot is convoluted and it is pretty slow moving. Not one I need to see again. See more 11/03/2011 Dated drama of three misfits still offers some fine acting by Liza Minnelli as a scarred, both physically and emotionally, young girl. Made just before Cabaret this is the last time the subdued non star Liza persona would be evident in a film. She speaks a line here "What would I do with sequins?" which while true for the character evokes unintentional laughter since the performer is now unimaginable without head to toe sparkles of some kind. See more 02/20/2011 This movie is interesting, though it could have been made differently. It's still a good movie! See more 11/30/2010 There are certainly some interesting things about this later effort from director Otto Preminger, but the central characters are far more annoying than endearing, which makes the film an irritating chore to sit through as a whole.
