Review by Stephen Tronicek
Alex Magaña’s What Love Looks Like looks like an ambitious project that doesn’t quite come together. Consisting of five stories of love in L.A., the film tasks itself with exploring the thematic territory of what causes us to fall in love, what causes us to get over it and the grey area in between.
That’s a difficult task. The writer of modern romantic comedies, Richard Curtis tried to pull it off in Love Actually and (through these subjective eyes) failed miserably. That Magaña and his team pull at least one or two halfway decent stories out of it is impressive. The best of these five stories is a liar revealed story between Calvin (Connor Wilkins) and Summer (Jamie Shelnitz). After a one night stand, Calvin plays the jerk and the pair leave each other’s lives…until an app brings them back together.
