Love N Quarantine

Love and Quarantine was a delightful surprise for me. I had just gotten married myself when the Covid-19 virus hit. So this whole movie made me feel like I was watching what I kind of went through. Not verbatim mind you, but pretty dang close. The cast of Ben Marshall played by NJ Brown and Caroline Marshall played by Jeanne Young were so convincing as a couple that I was fighting for them to stay together. Their chemistry was real and tangible and even in the comedic parts. It was still something as a couple you go through. The drama was very well woven in through out the movie and I never once was board. That says a lot. Even the other characters in this small cast were very well acted. I would have to give this a high 8 and a half. I have told many of my friends to watch this movie. David Espinosa has made a little gem.

This movie really captures the strain couples endured during the quarantine that made people actually reexamine their lives for the better and for the worse. Without giving away anything, watching this couple go through the ringer makes you really question if love can overcome the stress of living in quarantine when buried feelings resurface.

Love is grand and easy when things are working according to a plan, but what happens when you are stuck with the one you love when the world is falling apart? Ben and Caroline get an overdose of each other and things go crazy. First it's the small things, than it escalades to the point where paranoia dictates their every move. If you feel like a wacky quarantine love/hate story, give this one a go.

This film has a lot we will all recognize from the 2020 lockdown. It really was the first test of being locked in with our loved ones and seeing how we would fare. Filled with anticipation, anxiety and great cinematography, this film did a nice job summing up a lot of what it was like in 2020!

Love N Quarantine is a very topical, very heartfelt indie that speaks of the present. It moves along at a good pace and the performances feel genuine. Nicely done.
