Retratos de Um Amor

The performance of the mother and the father isn't suprising because they are two of the biggest names in thailand. Suprising package was the daughter, she carried well that boyish strong attitude but soft inside. The love she has for the parents especially the dad was superbly displayed. Storyline is not new, but delivered by these amazing actors made the movie worth watching. I am not a thai national, thanks to the subs but I did enjoy the movie. I watched because of the good reviews, and yeah, the movie didn't disappoint me. The director has done a very good job for this masterpiece. Im hoping for worldwide showing of this movie, I want to watch again.

At first I thought this movie will be full of sobs story where the man made mistake, repented and at the end everything will be okay and full rainbow again.

But none of this actually happened in the story!

All characters has great contribution and importance to the story, even the cat! LOL I love how the daughter Namo loves her mom, she knows her mother's struggle and she wants to make her happy in her own way.

I love the acting and chemistry between the Meta, Sati and Namo.

I can feel the awkwardness of a family that is in trouble, a disfunctional family yet there's still love there for each other.

I recommend to watch it with family with age appropriate guidandance 😄

The film also sheds light on the collateral damage of Sati's lifestyle through the eyes of Namo, his 15-year-old daughter. Namo is a character wise beyond her years, bearing the weight of a lifetime of unfulfilled promises. Her journey becomes a poignant exploration of the impact a parent's choices can have on a child, and her resilience becomes a beacon of hope in the face of adversity.

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Sati, faced with the impending collapse of his family, begins a soul-searching journey of redemption. The transformation of his character is portrayed with authenticity and depth, allowing the audience to empathize with his struggles and cheer for his path to self-discovery.

"Long Live Love" is not just a story about the breakdown of a family; it's a powerful exploration of the human capacity for change and the enduring strength of love. The film skillfully balances moments of heart-wrenching drama with touches of humor, making it a well-rounded and emotionally resonant cinematic experience.

Director deserves commendation for crafting a visually stunning film that captures the emotional nuances of each character. The cinematography beautifully complements the emotional depth of the story, creating a visually engaging narrative that keeps the audience captivated from start to finish.

In conclusion, "Long Live Love" is a thought-provoking and heartwarming film that navigates the complexities of relationships with grace and sincerity. Anchored by stellar performances, a compelling storyline, and expert direction, it is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a moving exploration of love, redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

The performances in the film are exceptional, with the cast delivering nuanced and emotionally resonant portrayals. The narrative unfolds gradually and builds towards a climactic finale. The chemistry between the actors is palpable as if they have been doing and acting with each other for a long time: Namo, Meta, Sati, and Peach with superb acting. Direk Mook is a master storyteller and directed the film with finesse and sensitivity. She balanced the heavy drama with many moments of humor and tenderness, giving us - the viewers an emotional rollercoaster ride. I watched the movie three times, and if given another chance in my country, I would still watch it.

Casting is very nice everyone deliver their role well and when the movie announce its release with Becky her fans go crazy but... This movie doesn't make sense at all considering that Namo looks only few age younger than her parents. 15 years old Namo doesn't fit the role for Becky if it's possible then it's either to choose much older main character or younger child that looks 15 years old.

Secondly, what's with the 2 hours and 15 mins long movie. The movie go around the bush and some scene can cut short or they can remove some flashback scene so the movie can deliver well.

The movie doesn't have a proper ending making it hard to know what's happening next. There's no resolution and it's not enough for international viewers to understand what's happening next. Do they file a divorce are they together again?

Somehow I feel that this movie used Becky to attract more viewers/international viewers. But my intentions are pure I just don't understand some aspects of the director. Overall, the movie has an original content though it's just that it's very long and doesn't make sense on characters age but it's enjoyable to watch and if you have a lot of time then try this.
