It's gorgeous, and messy, and I liked it lot...and I was sad pretty much all the way through. Perhaps because I fixed on Anne, and felt so sorry for her and so repulsed by her pretty, constricted life. (The people next to me were HUGELY, vocally betrayed the ending: I think they were expecting some kind of redemptive love-conquers-all scene.)
Heterosexuality is portrayed as unreal, removed and strange, in direct contrast to the painfully real humanity of the relationships between the women; it was excellently and fascinatingly done.
