Book of Love (2022)
2/10
I'm confused...
1 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie left me confused...

1. Sam Clafflin looked out of his depth? I feel like he didn't want to be a part of this movie but someone forced him to?

2. There was no chemistry between the two leads. It's almost like they chose two random actors and put them together without testing whether they had chemistry or not...

3. They 'fell in love' way too fast. For most of the movie, they were either constantly surrounded by people or had weird interactions with each other which didn't leave enough room for them to bond. Then we got like 10 minutes of them writing the book together and going out and boom they 'fell in love'?

4. What's up with the script? It was very incohesive. It felt like it was written by 5 different people. Not co-written, just written. Almost like: 'hey, I did my part, your turn'; without checking whether the script flowed nicely or made any sense.

5. The two main characters were unlikeable and there was almost 0 character development. Henry is uptight and fussy and Maria is hotheaded with a victim mentality.

The idea had potential but fell short.
