Rhapsody of Love

You'd never think this film was shot amidst Covid and in only a couple of weeks. Refreshing to see rom-coms featuring Asians and 'mixed race' couples with an entertaining cast and script and makes this movie realistic. The photography, directing and acting is outstanding. I look forward to seeing more productions from Joy House.

Rhapsody of Love is one of my favourite Romantic Movies I have seen, the storyline is beautiful, unique and not to mention stunning cinematography! The first Asian Australian Romantic film ! So exciting, all the actors did an amazing job! This is a must see film. Congrats to Joy Hopwood and her team.

A wonderfully intimate, emotionally honest and buoyant Australian film that features some refreshing, new local talents. A fun film with a lot of heart. Looking forward to seeing what this team comes up with next.

Rhapsody of Love tries to position itself as a feel-good, culturally inclusive rom-com, but unfortunately, it stumbles at almost every turn. While the intention behind the film is admirable-promoting Asian-Australian representation in a genre that sorely lacks it-the execution is flat and uninspired.

The biggest issue? The romantic chemistry between the leads is a complete misfire. For a film centered around love and longing, there's an awkwardness between the main couple that never quite goes away. Their interactions feel forced, the dialogue is stiff, and the emotional beats fail to land. It's hard to root for a couple when you don't believe they even like each other.

The pacing drags, the humor rarely hits, and the direction lacks energy. While some of the supporting cast members add charm and a bit of levity, they're not enough to carry the film through its sluggish runtime.

Rhapsody of Love has its heart in the right place, but a romantic comedy without believable romance or compelling leads ends up being more frustrating than sweet. A missed opportunity.

Rhapsody of Love is such a relevant, modern age movie to watch. Captivating, funny and shows everyday relationships and the challenges they face. Hilariously funny, I couldn't stop laughing!

A great Aussie based movie... a definite must see!!
