She Is Love

For a movie that’s ostensibly about scratching at real feelings, it comes off as phony as a perfume ad.

She is Love feels incomplete; it’s a series of scenes searching for a narrative and a trio of talented actors searching for believable characters.

A waste of great talent, sadly.

A totally improbable scenario is hardly rare for a romantic film, but it’s harder to look past when characters are so thinly drawn. Pleasant enough but instantly forgettable.

Nothing is compelling about these characters, and Bennett and Riley have little chemistry with each other playing them, even though they’re supposed to be estranged exes experiencing an unexpected spark.
