A powerful performance by Andrew Lawrence! Bravo!!!! Better than Love is beautifully written, shot, and directed! The actors performances were on point and still had a realistic natural feel to their lifestyle not over doing it. Picture perfect. The twist this movie took was intense and knowing it was based on a true story it's extremely devastating. This is a great film with a strong message and many more people should be aware of that message, which is how addicting and dangerous over the counter drugs can be!
Ted Carney does a terrific job keeping the tension, the love story and the personal story all going at once. Stellar performances from all the cast. Painful and hopeful, this indie film is well worth the time spent. Watch it.
This film struck home to me as somebody who had dealt with addiction and has lost friends to addiction. The lead actor does an incredible job of showing you the realness of addiction and the different components of living with it. There's wonderful directing and cinematography that compliment the performances. Worth the watch!
This film sets a new standard for down to earth realism and depiction of a nasty industry. The script, direction and acting are very professional. The story line is gripping and suspenseful. The only downside to this film is that it is not a show for everyone. It is gripping and pretty raw. /still well worth watching
Better Than Love had some of the best production value I've seen for a smaller indie film. Really solid. Good acting. Takes a personal look at the opiod crisis from every angle. Also has an interesting feel because of its Seattle locations. The U.S. is in the middle of such a terrible pandemic of overdoses, and it's good to see these filmmakers shining a light on it.
