Elena Undone (2010)

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I ran across Elena Undone when I was going through a dark time in my life. The intensity of this movie held me from the very beginning to the very end. The love in this movie wowed me into giving life another chance, be- cause I want to experience the very love that these two women have. The movie is emotional, intense, heart gripping, deep, and absolutely lovely in all ways possible. Traci Dinwiddie has become a role model for me, because she lives through the character and you can see her heart. She is not only a great actress, but she has a gift of expression that leaves you wanting more or hoping that it will never end. If you have not seen this movie, please do! You will not be disappointed! For those of us who have seen it, it is a love that the soul thirsts for and brings about hope in our very beings.

I think this is a different and sweet love story that takes the audience so deeply in that you stop wondering if the lead roles of are gay or straight or whatever else. With well constructed drama and psychological deepness on their main characters, Elena Undone s an ode to diversity, freedom, true self and love beyond cultural taboos and prejudices.A nice story -based on a true story in fact- that will move women, men, gay, straight.Well done!You must watch it.

It was interesting watching Elena Undone for the first time, as it's a favorite of many of my friends, and my expectations were high. At first, the movie feels a bit piecemeal, like a collage of the characters background intermixed with an essay on soul mates. But as the narrative emerges, the gorgeous Necar Zadegan and stunning Tracey Dinwiddle's stellar performances seduce the audience as they seduce each other. The chemistry between the women is simply electric. Conn delivers a depth of relationship not commonly portrayed on the screen. As Elena's doomed life spirals further into chaos, it's unclear whether she'll have the courage to break her sense of duty to grab hold of a once in a lifetime opportunity for happiness.Time will prove that Elena Undone is one of the great lesbian romances of all time.Q.C.

This movie is a must see! The story is pretty simple still very enjoyable. The inclusion of the church and some Christians' attitude towards homosexuality spices it up a bit. The love story between two women is portrayed in a realistic manner. The chemistry between the two main characters is perfect, it's hard to believe that they are just acting. The whole emotional spectrum that one experiences in such a situation is covered with excellence - the energy, expectations, curiosity, hesitation, doubt, optimism, determination, sadness, hopefulness - all of it is in there, in the right places.Traci Dinwiddie delivers an outstanding performance. My personal favorite being the scene where Peyton tells Elena about the situation "What I just said", where she balances a handful of contradicting and deep emotions with such perfection. She doesn't let the funny part in the scene wipe out the seriousness in the rest of the scene.Watch this if you want to experience what it's like to be in love!
