Lovesong

A little too quiet.

Too many scenes use to show the emotional attachment between the two main characters, when all they really seem to do is make the movie longer so it can become a full length feature.

Two good friends separated by life reconnect very intensely over a weekend and then three years later see there lives have really change when one of them is getting married.

I can relate to the second part of that synopsis, when Sarah reconnects with Mindy on her wedding day, after they have not seen each other in three years, you have to understand that no matter how close you two were you are no longer the center of Mindy’s life, especially on her wedding day, and now Sarah has to connect with people in Mindy’s life who seem closer and you do not know at all. I did enjoy this part.

I also like the relationship between Sarah and her daughter Jessica. The interaction between Sarah and the child actresses who played Jessica at 3 and 6 was so real. An amazing combo of timing and acting that’s hard to get with little children, it does not feel fake at all so that was real cool to see.

But overall, I though the film could have done a better job expressing the plot points. Like I said earlier, I see a long short film being strength out to make a feature length film and it makes the movie dull to watching the two characters look deep into each others eyes for longer than two minutes more that one occasion to express their possible more than friendship love.

Interesting story that could been better if the film was tighter.
