Anatomy of a Love Seen (2014)

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Blistering performances.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I loved this movie.But I wasn't surprised to see that it's IMDb rating wasn't that great. This movie really needs you to fill in the blanks. I can see how for some this may be boring. The whole plot takes place within the space of hours at a film set, so you won't be able to witness a lot of character development, no epic drama will unfold before you eyes.If you have, however, any concept of how it feels to love and lose I think you will be able to cherish this movie, in all it's simplicity. Two women, who fell in love shooting a love scene, now are asked to re-shoot it, having broken up. This brings up a lot of raw emotion, which, personally, I think the main actors portray craftily. A lot is left unsaid though, and if the viewer isn't up to reading into the things that are being shown on screen, there won't be much depth. This is truly what you make it!

I have to say that I only watched this film because the film I intended to watch on Netflix had disappeared. and when I did start watching it, I came very close several times in the first 20 minutes to turning it off. But as it went on and I realised more what was happening it grew on me, and in the apparent messiness some very good acting and some very truthful situations emerged. It's a miniature, but a worthwhile one. It's not erotic, except maybe at the very end, but that is not the point; it's about feelings. The sub-plot of the relationship between the director and her assistant is perhaps more convincing than the main plot, and perhaps more interesting.

This film was starting to be something then fell flat in the first minute! The blonde's acting was worse than the redheads and most of the few actors in this were "acting" as if they were acting, if you know what I mean, and not in a good sense. As I'm watching, this the redheads sincerity seemed real in bed about 34 minutes into the film, more so than the blonde. Don't get me wrong "I LOVE blonde's"! I don't understand why they would have put two people of conflict in a film together? Did they or didn't they know? It seems to me, to be a conspired film, pro LGBT and they could have done it better with a better production and better actors. Maybe this would have been better as a play but this is trying for a gut sense and I don't get there with the thin acting scenes. 46 minutes in, the blonde in the makeup room is really overacting and not at all what a normal person would experience during a time like this. I could act with or have actual sex with an ex,whether I liked her or not and not act like this! The only touching section of the film was after they filmed and were backstage listening to music and hugging.And "acting director" it's inappropriate not unappropriate during the backstage argument following the "Do you love her " segment.This movie just proves to me as a hetero that women have the same heartache together as they do with men, so not a better situation just different. The END! Neither of them ever having had a meaningful relationship with others (I'm not sure there was a time line mentioned) seems improbable. The end seemed to be thrown in there as a hard R/X scene to keep the male audiences interested to boost the lackluster 3/4 of the rest of the film.

Follow me, won't you please, on a visual representation of this movie. You're in for quite a treat. First look at me. I'm staring off into space. I'm contemplating something-- you don't know what-- but please, look at me staring off into space. Now find an open space nearby and walk in circles for two or three minutes. Tight, little circles. Over and over and over. This is the plot, ceaselessly turning itself over, never moving, never advancing, never containing motion.Now look back at me. I'm still looking into space. Watch me for a minute or two. Now go and walk back in circles for ten minutes.Hey look- a nipple!Now look back at me. Yup, I'm still staring. Is the movie still going on on? Dear God, really? Okay then... let's continue.Walking in circles, aimless staring. Walking in circles, aimless starting. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate character development (that's clearly what they were focusing on here) as much as the next person. I can understand a directors desire to focus on a relationship or two and examine them deeply and complexly. But you HAVE to, you HAVE to mix that with scene and plot movement. Not to do so in a 80 minute piece is abusive to the audience. Do not watch this movie. Do not waste your time. Now look back at me...I'm still staring off into space.Now go walk in circles.
