Looking for Her

A feel good holiday flick. Yes,the beginning does feel somewhat stretched but an enjoyable movie nonetheless. The chemistry between the leads are amazing. Cinematography is good and doesn't give off that low budget vibe that many independent movies have. This could easily have been an Hallmark holiday movie.

Alexandra Swarens the writer, producer, editor, director and lead actor of this movie is a real gem. Her work is excellent, hopefully she continues to create content for a long time to come (and hopefully that content includes herself and Olivia ;-).

PS. If you enjoy the movie, do consider donating to her future projects, details on Violet Wave Production's YouTube channel.

Having viewed all of Alexandra's works, Looking For Her and City of Trees are my picks. Hands down Swarens and Buckle have strong, convincing chemistry together on screen. The overall quality of the film was a cut above her earlier works, showing Swarens is growing in her craft. The cinematography and sound seemed more refined. Im hopeful Alexandra will continue to dig deep, producing and directing at an even higher level. Throwing Olivia Buckle back into the mix would be a plus in my opinion. Buckle's ability to adapt on screen is obvious, and I feel she has more depth to contribute. Looking For Her is a great holiday, feel good flick.

The story doesn't go to great depths but it's so enjoyable to watch, it's worth the time!

Both leads are equally interesting and for my surprise there's some very funny moments!

I read a book with almost the same storyline, but has a notch compared to this one. The book name is Change Of Heart from Clare Lydon!

Get ready for a romance set in the Scottish Highlands, studded with lush scenery, sizzling attraction, a first kiss to make you weak, and lashings of family drama. Clare Lydon is the queen of British romantic comedies, and this story is guaranteed to leave you breathless.

Both are pretty interesting! Worth the watch and the reading!

No pun intended - actually there once was a word starting with a g, that would mean happy ... but nowadays is being used as a slur by many today ... which is why I am not using it (obviously) ... just in case you were wondering. But if you are offended easily, maybe two women loving each other is not a movie to watch for you either (no matter the time of year it plays in ... even worse when it is Christmas time?).

The acting is nice and decent for a drama of this nature. The story is well told and as I said before, if you are open minded you will most likely be quite content with how this is unfolding ... funny and light overall ...

Overall, this is a cute holiday movie. The two leads have good chemistry from the start, and it's refreshing to see how their attraction develops naturally and with minimal angst or contention. The drama between Taylor and her parents that led to the whole fake relationship setup is handled gracefully and tugs at the heartstrings in all the right places. The rapport among the actors playing Taylor, Olive, Cheryl, and Frank is so funny and warm that it would have been nice to see more screen time devoted to that and to the blossoming romance. As it was, the initial setup dragged quite a bit with almost thirty minutes of story before the two leads finally meet. But beyond that pacing issue, Looking for Her is a fun and adorable film I'd be happy to add to my annual holiday watchlist.
