The Art of Love

This film is one hundred minutes of entertainment: funny, touching, surprising, profound, and beautiful. The scenes and characters initially live in their own highly contrasting realms of social media, intelligent sex robots, love, and the search for meaning and belonging in urban life.

It is exciting to see it gradually come to fruition through honest conversations and characters jumping over their shadows to find each other and themselves. I will see this film a second time.

The Art of Love is the kind of film gives you all the classic romantic comedy feels with a modern take on the story. There are lots of laugh out loud moments with several twists and turns in the story that keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. Yet, it was an easy watch. The kind of movie you can put on with friends to please a crowd or for a date night.

Alexandra Gilbreath and Oliver Walker are incredibly charming and have great chemistry together. Jeremy Swift and Kenneth Collard both play hilarious supporting while Jasmine Blackborow needs only about five seconds of screen time for you to fall in love with her. It's light hearted, fun, funny, and entertaining from start to finish.

Highly recommend!!!

The film begins somewhat superficially and lovelessly. But the development that the protagonists then go through and the unexpected twists that the film makes, have touched me, made me laugh and fascinated me. The film is about loneliness, about the difficulty to show feelings and the courage to be oneself and to stand by oneself. All this is packed in a very funny story that tells about the development and testing of sex toys. The approach of the two main characters is enormously touching, the dialogues funny and yet very close to reality. It is a great pleasure to watch these two and what a transformation they go through. The film is absolutely great and the actors brilliant!

What a highlight of the Zurich Film Festival! Alexandra Gilbreath as Eva simply kills it with her eyes, her expression is breathtaking. Oliver Walker as Adam shows depth of character and, for the ladies, also some good abs ;) The relationship that evolves between the two is unexpected, deep and authentic, and the story continues to resonate for many days after watching.

Complete with the characters of Hector and Jeremy Swift as Eva's husband, the cast is a perfect pick, and one does feel the great atmosphere in the team.

For London and camera lovers, the visuals are wonderful, amazingly done and you can also discover some very funny props!

Heartwarming, sad and beautiful story. And then it's funny too. The two protagonists are ideally cast. The set, designed with great attention to funny detail, deserves extra praise. Definitely watch it.
