Better Than Love

Ted Carney does a terrific job keeping the tension, the love story and the personal story all going at once. Stellar performances from all the cast. Painful and hopeful, this indie film is well worth the time spent. Watch it.

A powerful performance by Andrew Lawrence! Bravo!!!! Better than Love is beautifully written, shot, and directed! The actors performances were on point and still had a realistic natural feel to their lifestyle not over doing it. Picture perfect. The twist this movie took was intense and knowing it was based on a true story it's extremely devastating. This is a great film with a strong message and many more people should be aware of that message, which is how addicting and dangerous over the counter drugs can be!

It's not a great film, despite the raw material to be so. The film feels like it was rushed in production. But it's still worth a watch given that it's based on a true story. And Andrew Lawrence once again proves he's the most talented of the three Lawrence brothers. He's handsome, sure. But more importantly he's emotive and full of range. In one scene he's naive and innocent, and in the next scene, he's manipulative and disturbed. Yet it's all wrapped up into one seamless character. He quite literally saves the movie. In a lesser actor's hand, this could have gone comically wrong. Basically, I recommend this to any AL fans out there. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll like it.

This film sets a new standard for down to earth realism and depiction of a nasty industry. The script, direction and acting are very professional. The story line is gripping and suspenseful. The only downside to this film is that it is not a show for everyone. It is gripping and pretty raw. /still well worth watching

Better Than Love is a moving film about a drug dealer trying to improve his lot in life. Explores the dangers of addictive opioids and how they can tear people's lives apart. Lead actor Andrew Lawrence gives a great performance. Really liked the score and cinematography.
