Review of The One I Love (2014) by Eric H — 16 Sep 2014

His is a delightful debut by director Charlie McDowell, with eye-opening performances by Moss and Duplass. It brings the heft of modern psychology and counselling to the classic marriage/divorce comedy with if anything an increase in the fun.

Both Moss and Duplasse are charming in this clever dramedy with real meaning for those of us for whom a long- term marriage carries with it both discomfort and comfort. Ted Danson plays a marriage counselor who sends this couple off for a weekend that he guarantees will help repair their badly broken connection.

But they are in for a wealth of surprises over the weekend. Lots of humorous bits but it is basically a serious look at long-term relationships and how people have to come to terms with what they truly want.
