The Art of Love

This is a wonderfully made film, with a great story, and a huge, beating heart at the center of it... There are people in it you don't want to care about, and shouldn't care about, but end up loving. The performances are uniformly fabulous; I can't imagine anyone doing a better job in these roles. Oliver Walker should be written off as just another slab of beefcake, but his performance is so open, and nuanced, and vulnerable; it's a wonderful, wonderful creation. And Alexandra Gilbreath... She's rapidly becoming my unsung hero of the cinema and small screen ("Becoming Elizabeth"). There are two moments in the film that brought me to my knees with laughter... I won't tell you where they are; I'll leave it to you to find them yourself. But believe me, you won't watch a funnier, more touching film than this one. See it now!

I was expecting a better finale which is quick and can't really tell you exactly what happens . Is Eva back with husband ( who is seen ordering his first toy ) ? If not it's not clear which direction is she taking into her life . I was expecting a happy ending for her or something like a turnaround maybe Adam and Eva creating their own brand maybe . I don't think though that script wants you to immagine this . At the end of the movie Adam brings Eva to a port where she boards a cruise so it looks like she is not going on holiday with the husband and won't be back living with him . It's instead clear that Adam stops working in the industry and finally together with the poet girl . I was a bit confused by the finale to be honest.

A wonderful imaginative quirky film. This film has everything poignantly about loneliness in today's society, but also has romance and humour in abundance. An unusual friendship develops between two sex toy workers Eva (Alexandra Gilbreath) and Adam (Oliver Walker) who were both absolutely superb. The film cleverly takes you on a journey through several emotions, romance, sadness, humour and loneliness. I laughed out loud on several occasions and also shed a tear. It was also shot beautifully, and truly showed off Great Britain in all its glory! A wonderful watch I would wholeheartedly recommend to all, you will not be disappointed.

This film was a bunch of fun. A truly emotional story with the hilarious, bubblegum-pink backdrop of a sex toy company and its Machiavellian CEO. The connection between Eva and Adam especially feels so real, and is lovely to watch unfold. Individually, Eva and Adam's respective characters develop in such a satisfying and heartwarming way throughout the course of the film. Although existing in a heightened world, these characters feel incredibly down to earth. The exploration of the theme of loneliness is very well-done, and feels timely in a world where we're arguably lonelier than ever. Worthwhile watch, glad I got the chance to see it!

The Art of Love is the kind of film gives you all the classic romantic comedy feels with a modern take on the story. There are lots of laugh out loud moments with several twists and turns in the story that keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. Yet, it was an easy watch. The kind of movie you can put on with friends to please a crowd or for a date night. Alexandra Gilbreath and Oliver Walker are incredibly charming and have great chemistry together. Jeremy Swift and Kenneth Collard both play hilarious supporting while Jasmine Blackborow needs only about five seconds of screen time for you to fall in love with her. It's light hearted, fun, funny, and entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommend!!!

This wonderful, lovingly told story between oversexed influencer and tester of sex toys for the Art of Love company, Adam (Oliver Walker), and neglected and unassuming Eve (Alexandra Gilbreath), who writes successful test reports for the same company, is an ironic masterpiece in pink. Director (Pilippe Weibel) and cinematographer (Brian Dean Goff) set the contrast between fake lightness and ugly reality of social isolation the protagonists have to struggle with, splendidly parodied and pointed. Everything is fake, from the sex toys to the friendship between Adam and his boss, Hector (Kenneth Collard), as well as Eva's fuddy-duddy relationship with her dull husband (Jeremy Swift). As the film progresses, the sex toys move further into the background, and more and more it becomes about friendship, loyalty and love. I like how subtly the script (Philippe Weibel and Brian Dean Goff) takes Eve out of her stuffy, disillusioned everyday life and lets her grow into a self-determined woman. Or nudges Adam out of the emphatic, out-of-touch digital world and into "real" life. Brilliantly portrayed by the two actors. Even in extremely bizarre scenes, we buy their actions. Like everything in the film, each character is a bit off-kilter in their ways. That's what makes them so adorable. Delightfully, Hector the corny boss-ass-boyfriend, or Adam's charming neighbor Claire (Jasmine Blackborrow), who takes the audience's hearts by storm with her absentmindedness and pronounced love of cacti. The film is full of humor, little side jokes, witty dialogues, sweet punchlines. A touching, lovingly drawn social study, refreshingly blunt and quirky. Just as you would expect from British film.
