Review of When Will I Be Loved (2004) by Generoso F — 20 Jan 2009
I have genuinely enjoyed the recent crop of Toback's films from "Two Girls and A Guy" to "Harvard Man" to this...They seem single note films but truthfully possess all of the virtues of the New Wave.
..Quickly made films with intelligent explorations into sexuality, gender and power. "When Will I Be Loved" follows that trend in his work and is highlighted by a shockingly real performance by Neve Campbell, an affluent young woman who makes use of her sexuality to turn situations into her favor.
Her dialog in particularly with Dominic Chianese is quite good, a well written dialog that comes off with a natural ease between the two characters. Ebert was an early champion of this film and I would have to agree, this is an overlooked gem.
