Rhapsody of Love

When the movie started, I thought it was a joke, probably the worst acting and screen writing I've ever seen. I can't get my head around how this movie has 7.6/10 rating like what! We were 6 in the whole theater and we just were blown away that this movie is even in theater. Please don't charge people for this stuff, do better :)

We were one of the first to watch and rate this film.

The director obviously favoured the lead actress to allow her to add lib her dialogue in various places of this film and to keep re-casting her in all of her films. We would like to see the filmmaker/s cast the net more broadly, giving other Asian-Australian actors an opportunity to shine. This film has definitely been a stepping stone for the leads' careers.

Eye candy was undoubtedly the lead, Damien Sato and good performances from Lily Stewart and Tom Jackson were noted.

Having a diverse cast is a bonus element to this film.

We wondered why the director chose an Indian Producer to come on board when this is predominantly a Chinese-Vietnamese cast?

Rhapsody of Love is one of my favourite Romantic Movies I have seen, the storyline is beautiful, unique and not to mention stunning cinematography! The first Asian Australian Romantic film ! So exciting, all the actors did an amazing job! This is a must see film. Congrats to Joy Hopwood and her team.

This is a tender tale between two realistic, grounded characters who have their hearts on their sleeves. In fact, that's what makes this movie shine, seeing characters who love what they do, whether it's photography, baking or fitness. Stunning cinematography, lots of genuine moments and plenty of laughs.

I had the chance to see Rhapsody of Love at The Gold Coast Film Festival screening this weekend and I was in for such a wonderful surprise. This film is what true romance is about and I have not seen a film like this in more than 10 years. I am 68 and an old softy who loves a romantic comedy. Kathy Luu and Damien Sato are both new to me. Both leads were outstanding in this film and you feel their chemistry, love and their journey. For laughs, there are other fun characters - Joy Hopwood (who wrote and directed the film) and Khan Chittenden are like an old Hollywood slapstick pair. The other supporting characters are also excellent actors and I enjoyed their performance and love stories. But the heart of the film really is with the Kathy Luu who is an extraordinary rare actress - her heart and joy lit up every scene for me and I felt very happy leaving the cinema. On the way out, I heard a young man tell his girlfriend "That was a really good movie, I'm so glad we got to see it. I'd go see it again." So would I. Thank you for making this film Joy Hopwood and team, and thank you for screening this Gold Coast Film Festival.
