So basically this movie is telling you (spoiler)


if your an older person who wants to learn new things, no one will want you.
her husband leaves her
claire leaves her
and her kids turn out to hate her.

it was good all the way until the end.
i really would have liked her see her and claire work it out.
but i guess it shows how timid courtney love's character is, and how unsure she was of herself through out the whole film.

I agree. ONE small added clip in the end would have changed the WHOLE movie's direction & meaning. One small clip showing that Julie was with some new girl. Or that she is now out & openly dating. OR that her kids have accepted her back as their MOM (even if not as a lesbian).

But the movie was good & Clair's character had too many loose ends. I didn't mind they weren't together in the end. Any how Julie was making her crazy with all her intellectual talks. There was a point when I thought Julie is going to go insane and I was about to turn the movie off. I did not want to watch another lesbian movie, showing Gayism=Lunacy!

Nevertheless, I found peace in realising that how Julie had decided how her life would be in New York with her family, now only excluding Clair. Hence, I suppose that her life would start to get better with her college in NY.
