One True Loves

There is little payoff, with Fickman running shy of the full-blooded commitment to make his film a proper weepie and instead constantly reverting to sassy, annoyingly self-aware comedy that makes light of everything.

The movie has the general shape of a comedy, but any laughs are largely unintentional.

Stumbles even as a piece of Hallmark sappiness.

At its core, One True Loves isn’t really a zany screwball film. It’s a dramatic weeper with surprising heart.

Tropes are a given in a rom-com and are sometimes welcome, but “One True Loves” executes them with the determined reliance of a ball and chain.

Oddly, the film resists showing much actual romance, in favor of cheap drama and a shabby story. The pacing is all off, and what we want to see more of -- the actual romance(s)! -- is as MIA.

I liked the cast, it was silly and weird and lonely slightly bizarre but also kinda sweet…it was so close to being great

The only way this movie could end satisfactory is with a Thruple

melodrama done right

People who love movies about love should hate this.
