Avis à la une
My review was written in May 1988 after a Cannes FIlm Festival Market screening.
A languid, uneventful romance, "Now I Know" fails to whip up any dramatic conflict or involvement for an audience. Commercial prospects are poor.
Slight story has fledgling tv commercials director Jim (Matt Mulhern) falling in love with an Irish girl Maggie (Maeve Germaine). She has to return to Ireland for exams, they eventually vow to marry despite her parents' objections and ultimately drift apart.
That's it, with a laborious subplot concerning her virginity (she sleeps with him, but won't have sex for the first half of the film) and a lame twist of him cheating with an old flame the same night he proposes over the transatlantic phone. With banal dialog, little detailing and characters who have no aspirations beyond the immediate romance, film is a complete bore. Due to lack of dramatic opportunities, acting is flat as well.
Lensing on Irish and Atlanta (poorly subbing for New York setting) locations is perfunctory.
