Love, Repeat

This movie contains unusual and beautiful shots of New York City, breathtaking footage of the city the way it really looks. Bill Connington's superb and nuanced acting stayed with me for a long time after the credits rolled. That and the mesmerizing theme song.

So, like any genuine New Yorker, I go into a film that's touting NYC with a certain amount of skepticism. Especially a rom com. I was about half way in and so far it was sweet and quirky and well done, and the city shots were admittedly pretty gorgeous, and then.......BOOM. They had me. All of a sudden I'm tearing up and I'm missing the people I love and seriously invested in these characters working it all out. Maybe it's wandering NYC in the snow, or good old fashioned story telling. Whatever it is, thanks for the cry and I'll be adding this film to my "guilty pleasures" list.

For anyone who has been bewildered by the end of a relationship, and wondered whether they could have saved it, this is a hopeful and sweet movie about the difficulty of changing yourself and the reward of a second chance at love. The scenes of New York are gorgeous, the characters complex and sometimes confused (in other words, realistic), the friends and family quirky (whose aren't?), and the cast diverse (Finally, a movie that reflects the actual population of New York!).

This film is a charming, understated love story. The characters seem like really New York people. The scenes of New York are probably as beautiful as I have ever seen in a film. If you want to escape and remember life as it was before the pandemic, treat yourself and watch" Love, Repeat".

Wow this movie is just bad. If it wasn't for the beautiful Manhattan scenes it would be a zero and I would have shut this down. Seriously it kept me in this terrible story. The acting or directing is just bad. Can't tell who is at fault. It is a poor immitation of a kdrama / wannabe Woody Allen classics.
