Love of My Life

The dialogue is strange, the lovers have no chemistry, the Australian actors make inconsistent efforts to hide their accents, the story is ridiculous and ultimately pointless despite the obvious attempt at being profound, and the whole movie goes on for far too long. The film looks good and has a few scenes (or parts of scenes) that work, but most of it will leave you shaking your head in disbelief.

The pacing is pretty bad and there's hardly any gore, so if that's what you're after you won't find it here. That said, the gore is central enough to the premise that if you dislike gore then this film won't work for you either.

The filmmaking isn't bad - there's some nice parallel action and the cinematography is pretty good - but it's still not really sufficient to hold your attention. As horror films go it's okay, but the focus on romance make it seem more like drama than horror - drama bookended by pretty tame torture-porn.

I'd recommend watching it if you don't have much else to do and you like mediocre romance and implied violence. There are some plot twists which are pretty stupid to be honest, but at least they tried to do something original.

Ignore all these would-be film critics and their impotent drivel. yeesh. Chill kiddies. It's a good watch. Grab some beer and cheetos and go for it.

Really engaging but ultimately confused and pointless. Very well acted and directed but I must be a complete numpty because I was very unsatisfied after really enjoying the story as far as it went... Then it just stopped

Technically speaking this has some things going for it. They made an effort to make this look good (no pun intended). It does however lack in the acting department. Overall it's obvious this is a low budget affair and it's up to you if you are willing to cut it some slack for that or nor care at all.

Having said that, it has a nice flow to it and it tries a couple of things time-line wise. Not everything works of course and there are quite a few hick-ups and bumps along the road. But this dares and tries to be different in a few aspects and I admire that. I haven't checked if there has been another movie made after this one, but I can imagine this being a learning experience that would make future movies better. Tighter script, better actors ... could make all the difference
