Class Movie Review

The movie we viewed in class, titled Loveless, is about a man working a dead end job who has a relationship with two different women. One of the women, Ava, is a young lady he meets at a night club and considers putting into the movie he is trying to make. The other girl is a more mature down to earth individual who used to date the main character, Andrew. Throughout the movie, Andrew goes back and forth between the two women. The conflict is that Ava, his potential actress, seems to be crazed. She claims she can speak with her dead father, as can the rest of her large family. After she gets in a fight with Andrew, her brothers seem to stalk him everywhere. Meanwhile, he continues to try to have a stable relationship with the other woman.
Though I was not able to view the whole movie, the plot was very unique. The stories gradually tied into each other, linking all the characters. While the women characters were very good, I often found myself annoyed by Andrew. He seemed rather lazy and indifferent toward everything that happened to him. The dialogue was very good, keeping the conversations casual and realisitic. Overall, it seems like an interesting movie, though I cannot fully comment since I was not able to finish the film.
