Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Lovesong (2017)

Split in two parts, the first of which has a young mother and her daughter living in near isolation while her husband is away for months at a time on business. Her college friend comes to visit and they make a short-term temporary family during a road trip. The second half is set three years later, when the college friend is getting married and the mother and daughter travel up to attend.

It’s a quiet film with an overlay of melancholy. Though not a masterpiece, I was moved by its honesty.
