I absolutely LOVED A Perfect Ending. I bought it because I'm a Nicole Conn fan, but was amazed at how quickly I fell in love with these characters. You can actually feel the angst that both Rebecca and Paris are feeling in their individual lives, as well as how much each is longing to be loved. Each woman found it in the most unexpected place, with each other. I love this cast. Obviously, the main characters are both beautiful actresses with impressive acting chops, but I wasn't expecting to love the ancillary characters as much as I did. The husband, the kids...Morgan Fairchild as the Madam with a heart of gold...all of it! As soon as I watched, I couldn't tell people fast enough! I sent a private Facebook message to everyone I knew that appreciated great cinema. I'll continue to spread the word and CANNOT wait to see what's next from this incredible filmmaker!!

I loved this movie. The acting was wonderful. It was beautifully shot by the film maker. The music fit, perfectly with the scenes. It was romantic, sensual, sexy without being vulgar or tacky. The movie tells us it doesn't matter who you fall in love with. Love, will find you when and where you least expect it. I was happy in the right places watching this movie and sad in all the right places. A Perfect Ending has really touched my heart. I will forever be a fan of the director, Nicole Conn and the actresses, Jessica Clark and Barbara Niven. If you haven't seen this movie. Please buy or rent it now. Its such a beautiful love story. I loved watching the characters grow and change. Again, a beautifully told love story with wonderful actors. This movie is a wonderful love story between two women from very different social status.

This is not a "must see" film. It is also not a "piece of crap". Obviously, this film is somewhat polarizing to produce the disparate reviews it has received here. And just as obviously, some of the people who watched this film have an anti-gay bias that makes one wonder "why the hell were they watching this film?"There are aspects of the film that I liked. And many I did not. I do not want to be too dismissive of "A Perfect Ending" because I feel the writer/director invested a lot of care in this film and tried to produce a beautiful product.Many of the things I found off-putting were intentional. For example, the editing that was sometimes choppy. The music that, in places, was designed to create an air of the mysterious and sacred. These are artistic choices that sometimes did not work for me. Often, they took me outside the film, especially since the pace was slow. The pace itself could have been brisker in parts.Also, Jessica Clark (who plays the escort Paris) spoke with such a slow, deliberate pace it was distracting. It reminds me of Nichole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut", but Ms. Kidman's character was under the influence when she spoke that way.Lastly, I found the sexual politics of the film annoying. Often they are inserted where it does not serve the story. All in all, this is an average film by a filmmaker who could probably produce a much better product.

Rebecca is in a marriage where she has never had a climax, and she and her husband Mason have sex twice a year, whether they want to or not. Mason is a bit of a shifty dealer, and he signs over certain company segments to Rebecca to avoid litigation and perhaps criminal charges. He's very controlling with her and keeps her in the dark as much as possible.Theme 1: Rebecca's lesbian friends try to get her to enjoy herself more with another woman, perhaps through Valentina, who runs a service for that. This starts slowly with Paris, since Rebecca is skittish about it, but picks up speed later.Theme 2: Rebecca decides to use Mason's overconfidence to take control of most of his companies. The documents he urged her to sign earlier are a great help in this. Further into the film, we find out that Rebecca has terminal cancer. She will have a lot of decisions to make.Theme 3.: Rebecca's first lesbian lover, Paris, is going through emotional turmoil herself over the loss of a loved one. Some time ago, she had a minor laughing spat with her husband. She playfully pushed him away, into the path of a car that killed him.Theme 4: Rebecca's daughter from a first marriage feels left out, plus Mason abused her sexually a few years back. One Mason and Rebecca's two sons is to be married into even more money, but his prospective wife is a bit of an odd duck.Will Rebecca and Mason handle the full transfer of power before she is gone? Will Rebecca figure out her sexual identity? Will Paris get over the exact way that her husband died? Will the next generation get their acts together? -------Scores--------Cinematography: 7/10 There were too many closeups of mundane objects coupled with rack focus. The shots of Paris emoting were atmospheric, but more often boring than not. The regular footage was very well done.Sound: 8/10 Mostly OK, but dips too low sometimes.Acting: 5/10 Lots of variation: John Heard was quite convincing; Barbara Niven almost convincing; the actors who play the grown up children were rather bad, as were the actors who played the lesbian friends.Screenplay: 5/10 The story lines made sense eventually, but the whole thing was rather ponderous. Oh, well, soap opera traditions.
