Review of Love Comes Lately (2007) by Larry V — 20 Jan 2010

While I found the blurring of reality and imagination thought provoking, and while I admire some of the more mundane humor, I simply could not get behind Max - a charactor who glides through the film as things happen all around him; more of a force that moves the plot along than an actual engaged charactor (fictional or otherwise).

The women who drift in and out of Max's vision all do a very nice job supporting the film, especially Barbara Hershey, although I found Pena's performance just too polarized and predictable (hampered by the script, no doubt).

What this film tells about ageing is poignant and at the crux, but there's just too much sleight of hand to really make you feel for Max.
