Review of Loveless (2017) by Imthenoob — 16 Jul 2018
The failure to notice that their son is missing after 2 days isn't the beginning. There's nearly an hour build up to that point and during that time, We see how deeply neglectful the parents are and how their hatred of each other and of themselves are so viciously toxic and blinding that they can't seem to focus on anything else. Even with their professional and personal lives moving on, It seems like every move made is to spite the other. And the fact that their son is genuinely missing, and possibly dead, doesn't really seem to hit them until the very end of the movie.
And then comes the worst part. There is no redemption, No realizing the errors of their ways. The parents, if anything, are worst off than what they were before their son went missing (as shown in a fast-forward that takes place 3 years later). They are the ones that are truly loveless and everyone around them has to suffer from it.
It's a brilliant movie and definitely, a must watch.
