Liebesfilm

Love Film depicts a typical love story with all of it's expected trials and tribulations in the modern age. The film is far from perfect, and the main issue with it is the shallow approach it takes to it's characters: The story starts in a very sudden way without giving us a proper introduction to the characters. This creates a distance that lingers through much of the movie, making it hard to care about what is going on with our lead (Lenzi), or even sympathizing much with his troubles.

Lenzi's other relationships and hallucinations were never properly explored or explained, even though there was potential there.

I feel like this movie could have been a lot better if the writer sat with it more, added another 10-15 minutes to the runtime and gave more depth to the interactions and the characters and let us get to know them better. The actors - particularly the one playing Ira - did the best with what they were given, and I thought they did a good job.

But the story was so surface level, ultimately it felt like a waste to watch.
