Review of Love Is Strange (2014) by Tim M — 05 Sep 2014
Meh. This movie was too in love with itself. It offered no clever subplots or really anything of interest past the main conflict. I kept hoping something would happen. Even the things that do happen don't matter much.
Two men who have been together 39 years (yes, rare) are inconvenienced when they need to move and stay in separate places for a few weeks. But it's not a comedy! This wasn't a slice of life film either.
It was a piece of fluff that moved at a snail's pace. And I appreciate good foreign films' sensibility, but this didn't even have that. Just because a shot is held longer than it should be doesn't make it artistic.
