Art of Falling in Love

This movie isn't sunshine and roses, it is about a real romance that includes divorce and illness. BUT like any good romance there is still a happily ever after. The mural in the film is beautiful and Kimberly-Sue Murray shows a lot of range in this film.

Two slightly damaged people are the subject of this slightly different romance. She was sick and now she is in remission. He went through a devastating divorce. It's not chirpy romance here so if you are sick of Hallmark perkiness this is a change. I found it a bit gloomy.

Unfortunately, while I like the actress who played Vanessa, her character was totally unlikable. Love Iris, Kelly Bishop. I'm unfamiliar with the actor who played Nate, but felt he was more genuine. I didn't feel any real connection between them and it was difficult to pull for them as a couple. While she says she has opened up her heart to love, in actuality she didn't totally open up until the last 10 minutes. It's been difficult to totally be immersed in the movie and fast forwarding helped it move along, otherwise it was extremely slow moving. If you need a way to mindlessly get through a couple of hours, it'll do. I'll be hitting delete in about 2 minutes.

...I wonder if they share in the payout when it's sold to foreign territories?

This is my first review I've ever chosen to do. I am a huge fan of this genre of movie. I typically prefer "up and up", without the sad (except for some heartbreak of course). But this story, and these 2 actors, made me feel things, wonderful things! Great movie! Kimberly-Sue Murray you are truly an artist!!
