United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Jessica's extraordinarily strong will and heart enables her to rebel against her fanatical, cult-like upbringing. From seven to seventeen Jess is brainwashed to be one of the 'saved', to devote her life to Jesus, to follow the discriminatory teachings of Pastor Finch and his understanding of Revelations. As her warm personality dictates she succeeds in fitting into this regime and spreads the word of Jesus in a fairly content manner. But when her friendship with Melanie develops into something a little more 'unnatural' she easily realizes the error of the Pastors teachings. The girls are subjected to terrible treatment to convince them to repent. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, ...Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

    • Marvellously acted story of the early life of the author.
Geraldine McEwan gives a wonderful performance as the mother, and thes rest of the cast were very good too. I also enjoyed the interview at the end, with the author herself.

    • Great low budget British film
I thought from the page I ordered from that this was a region 1 Canadian release but it turned out to be a PAL region 4 British DVD. Luckily it played just fine on my PC using VLC and with proper tools it can be converted to an NTSC friendly format. Last saw this on a rental VHS from Hastings twenty years ago which is why I wanted it on DVD. Glad to have it on disc in spite of format. ... show more

If you liked the book, this is a good follow up. One of the best books and a really good film.

    • oranges are not the only fruit
I first saw this movie years ago in the early 90s when I happened to be up late one night channel-surfing. PBS aired the film from 12-3am, undoubtedly due to its homosexual content. Little did I know I was about to view one of the best gay-themed films I have seen to date. Although I am neither a lesbian (although I am gay), nor a product of a fundamentalist Pentecostal upbringing (I was brought up Catholic, "they're the worst" according to Jess' mother!), I strongly believe that any viewer, male or female, gay or straight, religious or secular, can identify with the plight of Jess, the obstinately stubborn and yet valiantly lovable protagonist who finds the self-determination to be true to herself and her God in the midst of the worst sort of persecution and ostracization one can endure- that which comes from those closest to you, your family and community. Jess, the protagonist, is everyone's hero. She is in fact an ur-hero. She speaks not only to lesbians and gay men who have faced rejection, but to ALL people who have had to find the courage to be who they are and do what they want to do despite the immediate people and circumstances that prevent, forbid, oppress or threaten them from doing so. The cast displays stellar performances: Geraldine McEwan is unmatched in her portrayal of the zealous Bible-thunping mother. She stabs naked fear and loathing into your heart from the very first scene in which she towers over the 5-year-old Jess and grills her with biblical questions, followed by a smack on the head. Yet somehow you come to respect and admire the fervent tenacity to which she clings to her system of beliefs. Melanie, Jess' first love, is the type of girl you would expect to find in a fairy tale: dripping with innocence and sweet as honey, the perfect poison apple to set up a broken heart. The preacher who leads this flock to which Jess and her mom belong is incredible as a despicable British version of Jimmy Swaggart. The most striking aspect of the film for me is how the director has woven such teasing, subtle and yet insanely hilarious (British!) humor into a movie that has scenes so painful that it hurts to watch them. Every time I see this movie, I get a little more humor out of it than the previous time, and it makes me love the film all the more, even though it's intent as a whole is certainly not to amuse- that is purely incidental. Yet on second thought, maybe it isn't. Maybe the humor makes us appreciate the somber theme of the movie all the more each time we see it. And we admire Jess all the more, and the ending all the more because of it. It just gets better and better! ... show more

    • Great film, but a DVD for REGION 1 needs to be made
This film based on the book by Jeanette Winterson, which I viewed some time ago on VHS, is a treasure, beautifully filmed, thematically true to the book, well acted. I keep waiting for it to come out on DVD in REGION 1 so that I can buy a copy of it. I wonder if anyone knows if the film will ever be made into a DVD for US and Canadian viewers. Please let us know. ... show more
