Limerence

A funny look at modern relationship and trying out in a different city, this smart yet uneven rom com falls short on its expectations. Despite the charming and convincing actors, the artistry harmonious atmosphere and colorful visuals, it suffers from repetitive and conventional dialogue. The crowd of "spiritualists" experiencing mysterious intimate acts in the house the protagonist shares with a friend becomes more interesting than the romance she develops with a bon vivant. At least they are awkwardly funny. While trying to accomplish her professional goals in California, she deeply invests on a romantic adventure. Entertaining but too shy to fly higher.

Women are awful people. That's pretty much the only thought that comes to mind after watching this which is strange since it was directed by a woman. Anyways it's watchable. Some decent dialogue while the horny star lead jumps into one bed after the other.

Finally, a romantic comedy that veers off the traditional path. Heartfelt performances by a superb cast. Be prepared to laugh but don't forget your tissues (and popcorn!).

Terry Minoff wrote it, directed, and is the main character. Her best friend is Billy Brown. She is a painter who gets her art in a gallery in Venice, California.

She does an abstract painting of herself. When Tom, boyfriend and fiance, asked her what part of herself was the painting. She answers you. So Tom is a part of herself. I agree. When we are intimate with someone, they will always be part of us. Everyone we have ever known like or dislike is a part of us. Even more astounding is that our cells have memory of people who have been in our lives. Physically our cells recall a person from years back. I had my back to someone I had known intimately 40 years before. With my back to him my body started buzzing with knowledge of someone I had known. Before my eyes saw him my body knew him. So Minoff is right that he is a part of her that will never go away. Her cells will remember him. Our cells remember so they are part of us forever. Astounding. I loved this film. Minoff is inspiring.

I was hooked from beginning to end. A very funny, yet deep look into our relationships. What are you waiting for, watch it!
