The Art of Love

Heartwarming, sad and beautiful story. And then it's funny too. The two protagonists are ideally cast. The set, designed with great attention to funny detail, deserves extra praise. Definitely watch it.

It is very rare to see a movie that can charm an audience without the extensive use of special effects, worn-out clichés and action set pieces these days.

I "discovered" this movie at the Zuerich Film festival ZFF. I got to see the movie on it's last showing, and all I can say is that it will not pain me one bit to pay to see this gem a second time.

Assembling the best and most unlikeliest of ensemble casts you may probably see for a long time, Great directing, beautiful camera work and when the more touching moments arrive, they don't seem forced but natural and honist, because these moments are truly earned. But WHAT a collection of characters this is. Alexandra Gilbreath absolutly stunning as Eva Parker I can't describe in words - you must see! Oliver Walker is perfect as tired influencer Adam Kowinski, searching for a real meaning in life. The crazy "Boss"; Kenneth Collard finds new shades of darkest despair and comedy as the man with the master plan; "Ted Lasso's" Jeremy Swift does amazing things with little more than facial expressions as Eva's Husband who's deep into potatoness, and many more perfictly casted supporting actors. A MUST see!

The film begins somewhat superficially and lovelessly. But the development that the protagonists then go through and the unexpected twists that the film makes, have touched me, made me laugh and fascinated me. The film is about loneliness, about the difficulty to show feelings and the courage to be oneself and to stand by oneself. All this is packed in a very funny story that tells about the development and testing of sex toys. The approach of the two main characters is enormously touching, the dialogues funny and yet very close to reality. It is a great pleasure to watch these two and what a transformation they go through. The film is absolutely great and the actors brilliant!

The Art of Love is the kind of film gives you all the classic romantic comedy feels with a modern take on the story. There are lots of laugh out loud moments with several twists and turns in the story that keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. Yet, it was an easy watch. The kind of movie you can put on with friends to please a crowd or for a date night.

Alexandra Gilbreath and Oliver Walker are incredibly charming and have great chemistry together. Jeremy Swift and Kenneth Collard both play hilarious supporting while Jasmine Blackborow needs only about five seconds of screen time for you to fall in love with her. It's light hearted, fun, funny, and entertaining from start to finish.

Highly recommend!!!

This film is one hundred minutes of entertainment: funny, touching, surprising, profound, and beautiful. The scenes and characters initially live in their own highly contrasting realms of social media, intelligent sex robots, love, and the search for meaning and belonging in urban life.

It is exciting to see it gradually come to fruition through honest conversations and characters jumping over their shadows to find each other and themselves. I will see this film a second time.
