Down by Love (2016)
9/10
Sensual Love Story
3 July 2021
I'll admit that it's hard for me to watch a love story all the way to the end. And that's because it's hard to watch so many clichés and fake sweetness made up to resemble a young girl's idealistic dreams.

So I did enjoy watching this movie. It has many selling points, like for instance the refined acting of the protagonists or Adele's sensuality and ability to display complex feelings and create intimacy.

But I feel there's too much sex involved, which makes sense in a way, since the nature of attraction between the two of them was rather sensual. I don't mind watching nudes but I wanted to recommend this to a woman or two and I realized I risk being considered a pervert. Not that I'm not but I don't want my mother to know. LOL.
