This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
一点都不惊悚 全程昏昏欲睡 故事讲的都不连贯 顶着女权的名号 什么辣鸡电影都能上榜呗
很压抑的气氛也很新鲜的题材，到底谁是正常人谁是疯子，被几位‘德高望重’的教授妄下定论，信鬼邪便是疯子，女人的命运被撰在男人手里。细思极恐，可恨可悲，幸好结局还算治愈。但事实是，不疯魔，不成活。
色调真美。社会结构性压迫。总有天真男性问“为什么世界各地各个时期大师都是男人居多，这总能说明女不如男吧！”当你稍微出色一点或者与众不同就会被关进疯人院or当女巫烧了，更别谈找到资源协助自己冲击目标，搁变形金刚也只敢乖乖当一辆车。
被惊到了，怎么会那么差……依旧是从第三世界里掠取文化做出的堆积秀(当然并没有想要体现对第三世界的关怀)，用人类普世的家庭情结想讲一个深情动人的道理，然而问题的解决是如此的轻易——忏一下悔、唱几首歌，就又是和乐融融的结局，未免也太无味了吧？
在那个压迫女性的时代，疯女人是女性解放者的代名词，向那些为女性自由平等的疯女人们致敬。
女性的束腰，盘发，各种束缚。精神病院里只要反抗就会得到严重惩罚……
主意被繁复的细节给掩盖了导致略有点跑题 本讲的是父权社会对于女性的训诫，不愿服从的女人被污名化为疯女人，进而沦落为男人的妓女。如果这样只能说是一部纪录片而不是剧情片，主题还要好好提炼才行
比想象的好很多，尤其开篇很多画面蛮美的。后面就比较草率，转折太快，人物也没怎么深挖。
非无脑夸，Melanie编导的很合适，没有空着喊口号，女权点、历史点、科学/神论点…都有所提及且不空洞；配合很🉑️，Melanie的深蓝色、护士和医生的黑色；旋转镜头和画面对着剪辑虽然有点多但是很有意思；真女主很明显是Melanie……
说不上来好还是不好。惊悚不是惊悚，也不同于其他精神病院片子。感觉一般。
到底是要群像（女性的苦难）还是突出女主？最后有点两头不讨好。这个“超能力”的设定也挺奇怪的。另外最后一幕也太潦草了。@TIFF2021
套用在其他体制一样好使 还不如从未见过这些鬼魂，至少不用那么苍白而又悲伤
算是作为导演的梅拉尼交出的一份不错的作业，男权社会女性只是附庸，不论是在尤金妮家里做主的父亲，还是医院里身为“担保人”的教授，开篇镜头美到出奇，双女主之间的感情实在是交代的过于隐晦，但两位是真的养眼，看完之后叹一句确实是法国片的调性了
节奏有点慢，结局也觉得有些仓促。。但是故事很不错
评分：7
“通灵”只是种隐喻，没能遵从社会(以男性为主导)既定规则、无法被驯化、看破真相的归类为疯女人，隐藏着时还能安稳度日，一旦暴露，即使你曾是他们的一份子也难逃被囚禁改造的厄运。
以前的精神病院太可怕了，精神病人反而是有人性的，正常人往往无人性，到底是谁才真正有病呢？结尾处为什么不能两个女两个人一起跑呢，还是女2的道德标准迫使她自己留在了精神病院？

太长了，九十分钟的体量比较合适。结尾还是挺不错的，这种救赎戏码永远对我有效。双女主的颜值是我已经在脑子里帮她们写好浪漫番外的程度。
剧情一般。看点是唱段的动画设计，单独拎出来都是不错的mv，不过唱段水平也一般。色彩运用很不错，很有热带风味。
