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.

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!

The art of love is truly a Brilliant film, unique, quirky and beautifully scripted tackling topics of loneliness, friendship and connection but through a very funny storyline.

I absolutely loved it, be warned about the sex scene early on, though. It's a rogue scene, a complete one off and possibly not required, but don't let that scene stop you watching the rest..Keep going because the rest of the film is great.

Overall, the poignancy of it was just beautifully executed, the script-writing was cleverly executed executed and brilliantly delivered by an exceptionally talented cast. Just brilliant, thank you!

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!

Beautiful story about loneliness in a business that usually has people come together. Excellent acting, stunning camera, exquisite shirt-patterns and funny props.
