"What a great movie!"

Film maker, Katherine Brooks age old story of unconditional and forbidden love is sure to be a lesbian classic.  It is a story of a Catholic Boarding School teacher who is pursued by her female student, Annabelle.  Annabelle is a mature rebellious teen who quickly develops a crush on the shy but mysterious school teacher, Simone.

It's an old story, but Katherine Brooks has a talent of bringing out the deep and personal emotions in her characters in "Loving Annabelle" which really draws her audience in.  Hopefully "Loving Annabelle" will become well known in the mainstream audience, because anyone can relate to this story which is told so beautifully.

The cast could not have been a better fit.  Erin Kelly as Annabelle was able to pull off the sexy determined teen, while at the same time showing her age and vulnerability. Surely Kelly will be a rising star.  

Diane Gaidry's portrayal of Simone the reluctant school teacher, however really puts the heart and soul into the movie.  Throughout the movie Simone's angst and struggle to come to terms that she is falling in love with someone she is not supposed to fall in love with, is so beautifully and respectfully portrayed. Gaidry really draws you into Simone's little secluded world, where she hides her true self and is afraid to come out, let alone fall in love with a female student.

"Loving Annabelle" is just a very good movie, it has you from "Hello" and keeps your attention right up to the abrupt bitter end.  It is SURE to be a lesbian classic, but will likely become very successful in mainstream media, as it should because movies like "Loving Annabelle" help mainstream society to understand the overwhelming dynamics and the gift of falling in love.
