Love N Quarantine

This film has a lot we will all recognize from the 2020 lockdown. It really was the first test of being locked in with our loved ones and seeing how we would fare. Filled with anticipation, anxiety and great cinematography, this film did a nice job summing up a lot of what it was like in 2020!

This film is a story about an interracial couple, Ben and Caroline, who hit a rough patch excerbated by the Covid pandemic and resulting lockdown. While based during the pandemic, it strives to show the issues a couple like this might face, from family hesitations, to career choices, and the reluctance and subtle racism African-Americans face in the best of times. The acting was decent, the story thought provoking and a great premise given the past 2-3 years. I would have enjoyed a more emotional performance in the final conclusion, but all in all, an enjoyable film.

Love and Quarantine was a delightful surprise for me. I had just gotten married myself when the Covid-19 virus hit. So this whole movie made me feel like I was watching what I kind of went through. Not verbatim mind you, but pretty dang close. The cast of Ben Marshall played by NJ Brown and Caroline Marshall played by Jeanne Young were so convincing as a couple that I was fighting for them to stay together. Their chemistry was real and tangible and even in the comedic parts. It was still something as a couple you go through. The drama was very well woven in through out the movie and I never once was board. That says a lot. Even the other characters in this small cast were very well acted. I would have to give this a high 8 and a half. I have told many of my friends to watch this movie. David Espinosa has made a little gem.

A nice little indie film about an interracial couple reassessing their marriage during the pandemic. It hits pretty close to home for all of us, but it's handled well and is more about the couple than COVID. The actors were wonderful -- and they had A LOT to do. They were believable and likable, so hat's off to them. Glad I took a chance on this.

This movie really captures the strain couples endured during the quarantine that made people actually reexamine their lives for the better and for the worse. Without giving away anything, watching this couple go through the ringer makes you really question if love can overcome the stress of living in quarantine when buried feelings resurface.
