It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Quite frankly, I think this movie was excellently well done. Although I thought bad girl Annabelle had a crush on Collins as Annabelle seemed so caring when the poor porcupine died and the fact Collins is like a little sweet girl to fall in love with! However Annabelle put her attention too much on Simone but she had like a boyfriend in which she shouldve dumped him if she was going to be attracted to girls. I mean its not easy to let it out and the thoughts of accepting yourself but no one should live with dread. Say what you gotta say to that person, that way you guys would live happier instead of thinking back of regret! This movie gave us that message of belief and love to all of us!

This movie is on Netflix streaming movies. How much one likes it depends on how much they sympathize with the situations these girls find themselves in.In California, Erin Kelly (about 24) is Annabelle Tillman, daughter of a state politician, and finding herself repeatedly in trouble. A high school senior, she gets sent to a Catholic all girls boarding school, even though she wears Buddhist beads around her neck. But her parents see this as her last resort, if it doesn't work out here then it is off to military school.Annabelle is coy about her sexual orientation, but it becomes obvious soon that she is attracted to her female English teacher. That is Diane Gaidry as Simone Bradley. We gradually find out that Simone has her own interesting past, she had been educated at that same school and her aunt, the mother's sister, is the nun in charge of the school. And her "best friend" had died some years earlier, and it appeared they were more than just friends.Now, Simone is dating a nice man who is trying to convince her to move away from her apartment in the school and in with him, as a prelude to their getting married. But is it clear she has very cold feet, she finds excuses to postpone the discussion. In her position she knows that she should NOT be in a lesbian relationship, a man is the right choice, but she cannot commit to it.Annabelle senses all this and is very assertive in letting Simone know that she wants to pursue something with her, even though Simone is old enough to be her mother. That is perhaps the part that I was most dissatisfied with in this movie, it didn't seem real that a 17 or 18 yr old girl would be that persistent and obvious in pursuing her teacher. In fact as I watched it unfold I would call it stalking. So while I don't give it high marks it was indeed interesting and for the most part situations were handled as they should have been.SPOILERS: The girls in Annabelle's sphere sensed something was up and, one morning when Annabelle is missing from breakfast a student alerts the nun, who finds Annabelle and Simone just putting on their clothes after a night together in Simone's room. The cops are called and Simone is hauled off. Surely she should have known a relationship with a student is off limits and in fact criminal. Many object to this ending, but to me it is the only one that made sense in today's world.

Loving Annabelle is a great movie! I think we all go through that when we are younger and older. Erin Kelly is so attractive. The passion between the two of them keeps you intrigued through the entire movie. I couldn't wait for them to kiss and the love scenes is right on. If we could feel that way every time, like it was the first!! The ending does make you want more but I think we can all use our imagination to put the ending that you would like to happen. My ending is they never loose each other. Their love is way to strong to let each other go. I pictured them both on the beach as in the movie and open to express their love.

firstly i think that Erin did an amazing job , she portrayed the character so well that you're lost in it . The movie loving Annabelle is a great tear jerker , very heart touching , highly emotional and only meant for those who really believe in love . The direction was perfect , the soundtrack was great specially the song 'all over me' and the love making scene was very natural and intense . This film will let you know that no matter how hard you try to resist it when you love someone you cannot stop yourself from falling for that person and as said in the quote before the credits "For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks". It will shape your thinking in a different way , you should totally watch it .
