7/10
Underrated

Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed this film and would definitely recommend it. In places it did seem a bit derivative, as does any romance film, but that didn't spoil my viewing. Despite what I've read in many of the other reviews, I personally liked the acting and dialogue. I think the chemistry between Dallas and Jasmine was clear from the start. The love between them actually made me cry at times. It was really refreshing to see sexuality portrayed on screen as something that is not black and white, and to see an androgynous main character. My only complaints are the beginning and the end. I think the affair escalated too quickly, with Jasmine's guilt seemingly disappearing in an instant, never to be mentioned again until she was caught in the act. And I think the ending jumped too quickly to happy ever after with no transitional period shown on screen. However, I can excuse the rushed start to the film as being due to time constraints or as a sign of the passion between the two main characters, and it was nice to see things end well for Jasmine and Dallas. I would definitely watch this film again.
