Loev

In my opinion Director/writer Sudhanshu Saria has made a stunningly beautiful film of exotic beauty in almost every scene contrasting with a culture so fixated on its societal expectation and traditions that it wants the modern world around them but cannot enjoy it.

What I'm trying to say is Sahil, Alex, and Jai's friendship/romance/sexual desires cannot go any where because the ancient cultural demands won't allow this -- but the modern technical world is welcomed without the freedom of being that comes with it. There are scenes of such natural beauty that the men can only express themselves by enjoying the scenery together. The frustration level is high and at movies end the viewer sees what the friends really wanted.

I realize this is a complex take on this beautiful film but I had to express it because the story made me think what is the director trying to tell the viewer.

This was a beautiful film about love, and the things that look like love but are a little different too. The cinematography is beautiful and the storytelling is rich and unique.

The characters have an emotional depth rarely seen in romantic movies. I found myself simultaneously rooting for them and also hesitantly accepting their flaws. These characters are human in the sense that they are inconsistent and strong and weak and bold and meek like so many humans are. Can't wait to watch it again.

An original movie. It takes through a viewpoint of another country. There's some quite stunning scenery which makes you want to travel. The relationship between the characters feels a bit weak and having watched to the end, leave you hope that there was more to it. A controversial moment is batted away when that could have been something they could flesh out.

I saw Loev at a film festival in San Francisco. I couldn't believe how entertained I was. It felt like a fresh take on a love story where the intimate details of a relationship slowly unfolded in front of you. It felt so real, raw, and tender.

One of the things I liked most about Loev was the locations where it was filmed. I've never been to India, but it felt like a character in it's own right.

I was looking for this movie everywhere. Finally i got it on Netflix and man what a movie this is. This movie is totally honest to the plot and scenario and it never uses typical stereotypes and clichés regarding homosexuality which is the most refreshing thing about this movie. You really connect with the characters as this is like a piece of life. Throughout the entire movie you will sense both acceptance and denial of the situation which makes it more lifelike. You really sympathize with each of the characters. In the end when you come to know about Dhruv in real life, you are bound to get devastated and feel that ache in your heart. I have never given review to any film regarding homosexuality as i had never thought this kind of honest movie will ever be made. I can seriously watch this movie to the end of the time. Special thanks to the whole crew for this. Please watch this movie to understand how complex human emotions can be.
