Category: EnglishThis 2001 film directed by Léa Pool is based on a novel by the name of The Wives of Bath by Susan Swan. The movie is primarily a lesbian drama set in a boarding school.
The movie has it's moments, there's a decent amount of literary references but that's by default because of the setting (by decent I mean 5 at best in comparison to anything that comes from Hollywood or the rest). The development of relationships has been handled nicely. Piper Perabo, Mischa Barton hold fort in this film in the acting department Jessica Pare doesn't really get anything out of her metallic face.
I am not going to romanticize the film or rip this one apart because the movie isn't all that bad to be honest although it doesn't really reach its full potential. Go have a look at this film if you want to see acting from Piper Perabo before she was Coyote Ugly famous, Mischa Barton is also really good as the shy and afraid new-comer.
Recommendation level: 2/5 - If you have nothing better to do on a Saturday morning like I did then watch this movie!
