Patricia Rozema’s third feature is a modern fable about a young Calvinist theology student (Bussières*) who finds herself falling in love with another woman, a flamboyant circus performer (Crawford), a situation that makes her question her faith and her relationship with her boyfriend. Henry Czerny* rounds out the fine cast as Bussières’s puzzled amour who is left behind by her new tryst. While the film won a certain lesbian following, it is essentially a fairly rudimentary coming-out story. It undoubtedly features some of the most erotic love scenes ever captured on Canadian celluloid and its overall serious mood is lightened by a touch of magic realism. - Essential Guide to Canadian Film.
