La muse de l'artiste

This movie has attractiveness going for it, I will say that. I've never seen anyone in this movie in other things, other than Frances Fisher. Why she is in a film like this is befuddling. The lead actor has the emotional range of a wet sock, other than the over-the-top crying scene towards the end. Chemistry is fine between the two, but I think it may be more because of Williamson's acting than anything else. I only wanted to write a review because I wanted to express how weird I thought it was for April to invite her date into the home of her ex-boyfriend. Really. Who does that?

Portrait of Love is fine. Watch it if there is nothing else on.

IMDB tells you "Portrait of Love" is a rename of "Heart of the Matter", which is now available on Amazon through PixL, but beware, "Heart of the Matter" is a castrated hollow shell of "Portrait of Love".

I cannot tell if the reviews here on IMDB are for "portrait" or "Heart". But "Portrait of Love" is worthy of every good thing said here. "Heart" is worth the trash can. "Heart of the Matter" is a lame, inferior, incomplete cut. A waste of time compared to "Portrait of Love". You want the original "Portrait of Love" or nothing.

These are the Hallmark movies I love. Some might say it's slow or boring, but I say these are the stories that you fall into and have time to develop the characters, the backstory and the relationships. The casting was perfect. Jason plays the broken, tortured character so well so this part was made for him. I always loved Bree from OLTL, she fit into her role very well. She's obviously very pretty, but she played it down. I love how she was the insecure, heart broken sad girl..that gets me very time. I loved all the supporting characters as well. Usually the "friend" doesn't get her own story, so I was very pleased we got to get to know her as well and see her life outside of supporting the main character. I believed all the relationships, mother/daughter, father/mother, grandmother/grandmother. The acting was good all around. 4 out of 5 stars. Taking off a star because I would have liked a conversation where they discuss why he let her go in high school. Overall, so well done. This is why I watch Hallmark films.

I will watch Jason Dohring in anything. I first saw him on Veronica Mars and then Moonlight, Ringer, and numerous other tv shows and movies. You can see the emotions revealed in his face. Sometimes his expressions can break my heart. I enjoyed this movie and would watch it again.

The acting is horrible. So predictable and unrealistic.
