Loving Till It Hurts

Great art isn't always easy to consume. Verily, there's nothing popcorn or pop music about the exceptional "Loving Till It Hurts" six-episode series. This is an immersive, tension-driven presentation of the constantly escalating complexities and unpleasant truths hovering over and around the misappropriations of power that characterize abusive relationships.

In the most starkly fascinating of ways, writer/director Luner Eugene manages to approach this subject with a deftness and unvarnished delicacy so often absent from like-minded depictions. Eugene's knife-sharp dialogue and ability to drive at the essential essence is complemented by a terrific atmospheric barrenness; there's a visual projection of desolation here that's further set off by spot-on casting -- the acting of the leads in particular is both engrossing and truthful.

Most people like to think they really do appreciate entertainment content that deals in the real. "Loving Till It Hurts" may prove to be an ideal barometer for measuring exactly that, as there's nothing about this series that doesn't cut to the bone. Challenging, compelling stuff done at an exceedingly high level. - Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!

When I first start watching this movie it was really good what this series but as it went on this just shows how dumb some women can be and this long drawn-out this man is just beating his woman is she staying there I don't like it and I do not give y'all a good rating for that because that makes women look real stupid

The fact that this story depicts domestic violence is something I can really appreciate and I understand how hard it is to be in that situation. As a woman J feel like they depicted her as weak, and naive. There were so many people that wanted to help her but she was so consumed with her own feelings of not having anything to fall back on. Its 2020 there are so many places that are willing to help woman going through these situations. I just don't feel sorry for her, because eventually you have recognize what love is and isn't.

I just watched the first episode of Season 1, For Better or Worst. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I loved the characters. I thought the actors did a very solid job! The lead actors in particular! Writer/Director Luner Eugene does a great job as Director. My interest was held throughout. I never once found myself drifting off. I'm looking forward to watching the other "5" episodes and hoping there's a Season 2. A thumbs up on this one for me!!

I love a drama that has some thriller elements to it, and this one definitely does. It's an unflinching look at an abusive relationship, wonderfully acted and realistically written. If you have a spare minute, give this indie gem a watch!
