Summary: Enjoyable movie
Comment: I found this film to be very tender and beautifully done. The actors were very talented, especially the two leads, Diane Gaidry and Erin Kelly. The movie was made with a lot of sensitivity as to the subject matter. I found the film very touching. Kudos to the entire cast and director.

Summary: Loving Annabelle
Comment: This was a great movie. The chemistry between the teacher and Annabelle is awesome. The movie would be better with an alternate ending.
Customer Rating:
Summary: NICE!!!
Comment: This show is nice as to seeing how it develops. Although the ending is a bit ... , this show is nice. It just shows how much one should face up to their own feelings :) NICE!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A very good film
Comment: I really enjoyed the movie Loving Annabelle because it was both a good story and incredibly factual. You really come to care about the characters in the movie and wonder how things worked out for them. The story is not overshadowed by the steamy scenes but enhanced. It is worth a chance, and you will be rewarded with an excellent movie.

Summary: This one requires a strong stomach
Comment: From the beginning of this movie, I just couldn't shake the feeling of how wrong it is - this teacher becoming involved with a student. It's more than the fact that Annabelle is under 18.... Just like parents and clergy, teachers hold a unique place of trust, authority and responsibility. Even though Annabelle was the one who pursued the relationship, that doesn't make it any more okay for Simone to cross the line.
As much as I had hoped that this would be a good movie (based on the overall good reviews), the relationship between these two was just plain inappropriate and it grossed me out! I still shudder when I think of it.
If this movie had been about a mother and her daughter becoming sexually involved, that would have disgusted me. Simone, a clearly much older woman, was Annabelle's teacher and dorm monitor. The relationship between them should have been parental in nature, never sexual.
As for other elements? The acting was not great, but I've seen worse. The filming was average - again, I've seen worse, but I've seen a lot better too. Aside from the BIG issue of a teacher becoming sexually involved with a student, I would rate the film perhaps 2 or 2.5 stars at best. Throw in the teacher-student aspect and my resulting nausea and I can't give this better than 1 star.

Editorial Reviews:

Rising star Erin Kelly is Annabelle, a precocious Senator's daughter who falls for her Catholic school teacher, Simone (Diane Gaidry, The Dogwalker). After Simone is assigned to control the rebellious student, she instead finds herself drawn into Annabelle's world. As their attraction builds, the two women must cope with the reactions of those around them. Writer-Director Katherine Brooks unveils this smoldering tale of forbidden love with intelligence, wit and sensitivity.
