A Moment for Love

A Moment For Love is more than just a rom-com-it's an immersive, fairy-tale-like journey that blends fashion, fantasy, and deep emotional storytelling. Directed by Joseph and Phillip Matarrese, and co-written by the film's star, Bobby Love, this semi-autobiographical film is both visually striking and profoundly moving.

At its heart, the film follows Trevor (Adam Huss), a singer-songwriter burdened by a painful secret, who stumbles into the magical and flamboyant world of Bobby Love, an out-and-proud fashion designer. As their friendship grows, Trevor learns to release his past and embrace the love and acceptance that Bobby and his chosen family offer. Filmed against the stunning backdrops of Los Angeles and Venice during Carnivale, the film's aesthetic is as extravagant as its themes, featuring actual footage from Bobby Love's bold and avant-garde runway shows.

What makes A Moment For Love truly special is its unapologetic celebration of self-expression. The fashion in the film is breath-taking, with each piece serving as a testament to Bobby Love's artistry-think the grandeur of Mardi Gras meets the elegance of Venetian masquerades. But beyond the spectacle, the film carries an emotional weight, tackling themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and the power of chosen family.

Adam Huss delivers a layered and heartfelt performance, while Bobby Love shines as both an actor and creative force behind the film. Their chemistry is undeniable, making their journey of friendship and healing all the more compelling. The film's balance of humour, romance, and poignant moments ensures that it remains both entertaining and deeply resonant.

A magical, Alice in Wonderland like LGBTQ rom-com, "A Moment for Love" is pure joy! A wonderfully made film with a terrific cast, it features Bobby Love playing a version of himself to delightful effect. His presence is part of the film's charm, and the footage of his spectacular runway shows are really out of this world. They're worth the rental cost alone - and that's only the tip of the magical iceberg here. The movie is filled with camp-fun, with the more serious moments bathed in an eventual love and warmth that make the film shine. It's ultimately a feel good movie with a very big, beating heart at its center. Exactly what is needed for our very difficult times. I can wholeheartedly recommend this indie gem!

This film is a vibrant, visually stunning experience that delivers both style and substance.

A magical celebration of love, identity and living life authentically. A great story with amazing locations, costumes and of course performances including Bobby Love and Adam Huss. Huss also displays his musical talents just as he did in Waiting in the Wings a few years back.

This is a wonderful journey and a celebration of the different kinds of love and friendship that are possible in life.

The music adds another enhancement and supports the mood of this film with it's dramatic and comical ups and downs.

The visuals in this film alone are worth watching. The performances are another reason for watching. A delightful LGBTQ+ film.

The visuals of this film are outstanding. The costumes are grand and larger than life but are also intricate in their design. Freezing the action is the only way to truly appreciate the vast panoramic eye-candy in this production. Then, there are the locales from LA to Venice, Italy! Just wonderful locations, wonderful set design. A quirky fantasy about being true to yourself and following your bliss, whether it's Bobby staying true to his art, an amazingly photogenic Bobby Love, or Trevor not giving up on his dream of music no matter what life throws at him, sung and played beautifully by Adam Huss. The song in the bar was especially haunting. Not to forget Bonnie Morgan who plays Suzy and Jenny. Aside from the welcome physicality,, she creates excellent characters. The visuals of the film alone make it worth a look.
