Love Me Not

"Love Me Not" is a film that falls short of its promise. While it attempts to delve into the complexities of human relationships, it ultimately feels contrived and emotionally disconnected. The plot revolves around a troubled couple, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, and obsession. Unfortunately, the execution leaves much to be desired.

One of the major issues with the film is its pacing. The slow and disjointed narrative makes it difficult for the audience to become fully engaged with the characters and their struggles. It feels like the story is dragging, and the viewer is left waiting for something substantial to happen.

Furthermore, the characters themselves lack depth and nuance. They come across as one-dimensional, making it hard to empathize with their predicaments. The lead actors' performances also leave much to be desired, with wooden delivery that fails to evoke genuine emotion.

The cinematography, while visually striking at times, doesn't make up for the film's other shortcomings. It relies heavily on dark and moody visuals, which, while aesthetically pleasing, can become tiresome and fail to enhance the storytelling.

The dialogue in "Love Me Not" is often stilted and unnatural, making it difficult for the audience to connect with the characters on an emotional level. This lack of authentic dialogue further detracts from the film's overall impact.

In conclusion, "Love Me Not" is a disappointing attempt at exploring complex human emotions and relationships. Its slow pacing, underdeveloped characters, lackluster performances, and contrived dialogue make it a challenging watch. While it may have had potential, it ultimately fails to deliver a compelling and emotionally resonant cinematic experience.

Mister Avramis has yet again disappointed. Writing movies isn't for everyone...

The rescue of this film is the way in which the couple's love becomes sacrificed, because it questions whether love is really going to save each of the characters, and how far the ambition and guilt will come with the decisions they are making. The actions of the couple and another of the characters are realistic, and in the chaotic part of the plot they manage to convey the tension of what they are living.

Actors gave a great performance and the story gives you a hell of a ride with unexpected twists and turns.

This movie is very interesting, first of all I thought (because of the tittle) was going to be about love or a love triangle, and the other thing that kept me watching besides the great quality of the film is that it has like two velocities, slow super slow, enough for me to almost giving up on it and shockingly fast. I definitely recommend it.

In this so called "new Greek wave" drama we follow the story of a young migrant that decides to surrogate for a wealthy couple. Problem is there is nothing new, or even Greek about this film. The shots are plain and stale. The acting is nowhere to be found and the film lacks soul. The actors tend to stare deep into each other's eyes for no particular reason expecting to raise tension and you can almost hear their sigh waiting for the director's "Cut" shout. The film is directed like linking the dots between objects that try hard to overshadow the lack of talent. The writing is dry and you get the feeling that no one had fun shooting this. Unnecessary is the best word to describe this film and it's high time Avranas found a new hobby cause apparently filming is not for everyone.
