The synopsis seems intriguing enough, especially when it's complemented by all of the hype surrounding it, compliments of afterellen.com and other trusted queer sites.
However, it was awkward. The lead ladies' interaction was too forced, and the progression of the movie seemed out of place most of the time. I think the plot was very poorly directed, as the crew seemed to be rushing towards their ultimate goal without offering the audience much assistance as to how to reach it with them. The main tension of the movie - that of a student-teacher dynamic - was completely rushed over, and at the end, I didn't sympathize with either Simone nor Annabelle - their romance didn't really make sense to me at all at that point.
All-in-all, I'd say you're not missing much by skipping the movie. Then again, you *must* see what the hype is all about. (then bitch about it later.)
