I have heard that this is one of those films that you either love or you hate. I personally thought it was a very thought provoking film, especially considering the time and budget. It is sweet and sensual and makes you think. If you are just looking for steamy sex scenes then you're in the wrong place. This is a meaningful story of two women struggling to find themselves. Nicole Conn challenges several difficult issues with intelligence and grace. In my opinion it was well cast and the cinematography is impressive considering its Ind status. I highly recommend this film for a quite night at home. PS The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. One of my favorite classical play lists.

Trisha Todd's portrayal of Claire is agonizingly realistic. As the movie opens we see her in turmoil, clearly dissatisfied with her inability to find personal peace. Her life is lived superficially to this point. She reluctantly accepts an invitation to a writer's retreat and is thrown into sharing a room with a psychiatrist. When she later learns that her roommate is a lesbian, Claire begins to explore the possibilities of intimately connecting with others in ways she never imagined before. The interplay between Trisha Todd's Claire and Karen Trumbo's Noel is so much like real life in it's awkwardness. I highly recommend this for anyone that considers themselves a romantic. It is a classic lesbian chic flick.

With the continual release of GOOD lesbian films, it confuses me why this film is still so highly recommended and touted as a "lesbian classic." To put it bluntly, this movie is terrible in every way. The story line is contrived, the sound is bad, the direction is flat and the characters are unrealistic and unlikeable. Not to mention the film is terribly dated. Although it was released in 1992, it feels more like a film that was made in 1985. Although I am all about lesbian movies, I can not comprehend this addiction to bad film. Try something good: Better Than Chocolate, Fire, or But I'm A Cheerleader are worlds better than Claire of the Moon could ever pretend to be.

This was a wonderful film of lesbian passion and the tension it can create. That wonderful tension. I tend not to enjoy the typical straight girl goes gay plot line..but that is me. The movie kind of dragged in the middle, but the end scenes were great.
