Losing Control

Losing Control was a fun-filled romantic adventure that delves into the goals and desires of a talented, eccentric, and endearing scientist who experiments with love! The characters capture the universal realities of all our extended families…the movie will capture your heart.

The movie is well written, witty, and has real multi-faceted characters that we all know and love. It takes place in Boston as a Harvard scientist grapples with furthering her professional career versus taking the leap of faith that love requires of us all. In this process, she sends both herself and her beau through a soul search that helps them find out who they each are.

The movie presents comic relief with the funny Jewish parents, the moonlighting co-worker, and the string of romantic misfits that enter the story as well.

See this movie for sure...You will not be sorry!

Had a wonderful few hours watching this funny movie about trying to scientifically prove romance. How does a scientist prove love? This sweet movie involves loves, questions about love, quirky characters, espionage and a few hours of great laughs.

The main character, Sam, is on her way to defend her Phd, but along the way hits a few bumps in the road and begins to question her life and choices. Is Ben a 'keeper,' should she continue to defend her scientific theory, is Leslie's love advice good practice, and will her mother's hat work?

Go see the movie and find out!

I have been doing research for 20 years and I am glad someone made a satire on the Ph. D. life. It is filled with examples of Ph. D. life. My husband and I both found it very funny.

Losing Control gets high marks from me. It is a smart romantic comedy. Funny, real characters, marvelous actors and music and it is well written and directed. The director knows romance, she has a rare comedic sense and she is funny.

Scientists are often portrayed as cartoon figures. That is not the case here. The story drew me right in. I found myself fully invested in the characters and I completely enjoyed the ride. I will definitely see this film again.

Miranda Kent balances the rigors of graduate school with her need to know about life, to evaluate her love life and the romantic question is Reid Scott "the one". As they say, laughter ensues.

The director has accomplished a small miracle with Losing Control. She got me (!) actually interested in the science aspects of the movie. Having done that this film may well pull many women toward a field not generally considered by them. For this alone the director deserves honors, ribbons and medals.

I saw Losing Control in a special screening and loved it. Very funny. Very entertaining. Miranda Kent is adorable in a young Amy Adams sort of way - and reason enough to see the movie all on her own. As an engineer I could really appreciate the scientific approach to love and romance. It gave the film a fresh take on the romantic comedy genre - which is hard to find. And all the little things were great too, like the music and opening sequence was very clever. An impressive first feature film from Valerie Weiss. I expect this will launch Valerie to the next level in her career. If you like witty, well-written comedies then do yourself a favor and see this movie!
