Heartfelt
By Kerry Jones from London, England , 16 Aug 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
This film is quite a heartfelt movie... the story involves two complete opposite characters, one a middle aged town librarian looking for closure of the death of her husband and the other an androgynous eskimo who searching for answers of her parents! The film starts out quite slow with the audience being led to believe that the eskimo (kd lang) is quite a simple man, but who throughout the movie comes more out of her shell and into the arms of the librarian. Aside from the plot the scenery is breath-taking and the sound track by kd lang is so beautiful and moving.
If you enjoy film with not much in the way of action and a plot that does seem to drag, but involves an indepth look at the two characters and how they develop because of the other one, then it's a must. If not you can always shut your eyes and enjoy the music!- Was this review helpful to you?

(3)Angst in the snowy wastes
By RJNeb2 (924 reviews) from London , 08 Mar 2011After the misfire that was 'Rosalie Goes Shopping', director Percy Adlon effectively remakes 'Bagdad Cafe' but locates it in the frozen wastes of Alaska. He's clearly fascinated by this location (mainly because it is indeed very interesting to see how life is eked out here) so his vistas make up for the general nebulousness of the plot. k.d. lang is convincing as an androgynous Eskimo but Rosel Zech is much more impressive as the German librarian to whom she is attracted. Definitely strange though. Good thing if you like lang's wistful song 'Barefoot' as it's played constantly on the soundtrack.- Was this review helpful to you?

Painful relationship
By a customer from sw london , 10 May 2010K d lang should stick to singing. Painful to watch someone who is shy and gentle but can’t act. But the relationship between the two women makes sense: one with no children and a traumatic childhood, the other with a traumatic childhood and no parents. However, for the younger gay woman, frustration strikes as she yearns for a deeper level in the relationship. Viewers who watch this film for girl on girl action or a reciprocated love better look for other titles. Still, there is a story (albeit close to slow motion) behind the sexual frustration that redeems the film.- Was this review helpful to you?
