It is clear they paid attention to sound and lighting, giving this project a high production value, and for an independent film, this is a pleasant surprise. The acting, and writing, wasn't always desirable, occasionally directing my pupils to the nearest clock, but the pros outweighed the cons in this regard, especially near the end.
In this story, we get to follow five separate relationships, two of which felt redundant, or perhaps uninteresting would be the term, but luckily, they still had three strong story lines to keep our attention. Love stories need characters worth investing in, and I'm happy to report the three aforementioned couples were investment worthy.
With a title as absolute as, "What Love Looks Like," for a film made in 2020, one would think there would be at least one gay couple, and being as there were two expendable couples, both hetero, it's not like they ran out of room. Although the lack of preference diversity did hurt the overall rating for me, it did not affect the validity of the three aforementioned relationship stories.
In short, all this film needs is to clean up the script a little, allow the actors a little more time to explore their characters, and to replace two of the couples with one gay couple, male or female, and we'll have ourselves a 10'er!
