Following the death of their father, two sons deal with the trials of their own lives while watching their mother explore new beginnings of her own. Love After Love is another film where Andie MacDowell feels like she is typecast or something i mean most of her movies by now are the same where she plays some divorced or married mother who has kids that she doesn't see often and basically looks sad for half of the film. And this isn't doing anything new either, it was slow and a bit way too much on the indie type of drama than your typical one and just a waste.
As many reviewers have noted , this movie jumps from one time sequence to another and leaves it up to the viewer to basically figure it out. I'm not a big fan of this style of first time director Russell Harbaugh, and with the film's many flawed and unlikable characters, I'm surprised I'm not giving this a 1 or a 2 rating as well.However, I did find some strong acting here led by the seemingly ageless Andie MacDowell, and some dramatic tension among this dysfunctional family which I found interesting enough to stay with the movie, although part of me wanted to indeed bail. Overall, a mixed bag for me here, but I can see how many will be turned off by some of the unlikable characters and their crappy actions.
I hardly ever rate a movie 1 star, but here is one. I hated every character, the non story, everything, really. andie MacDowell still looks beautiful, I must say. unfortunately, movie goers need more.
Too slow, maybe I'm just not a big "artsy" film fan? Couldn't really feel for any of the characters. When I read the synopsis before renting, I read the words "Chris O'Dowd" and "funny", so thought about giving it a try. It's not all that funny. I just wasn't into it.
