A Love Song (2022)
6/10
Misery Loves Company
24 August 2022
Is it really that easy to perform engine swaps in the middle of nowhere?

This film is NOT for everyone. Moviegoers expecting a neatly-outlined narrative will be bored out of their minds. The first 20 minutes alone are spent riding shotgun with the main character's lonely vigil-waiting for a rendezvous that may never even happen.

Those who DO stick with 'A Love Song' will be treated to a meandering, bittersweet drama that's exceedingly human and-for lack of a better word-brutally regular. This film portrays weariness, disappointment, and navigating grief so viscerally. Misery loves company, and we end up being the company.

The film subverts our expectations for a happy ending or a-ha moment of resolution in favor of something much more true to life.
