If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This movie is hard to see, it's dark a lot. There's not a lot of talking. It jumps back and forth between the Civil War and 2039 Space Station. Apparently, he's up there alone. Well, it's very confusing, disjointed, hard to follow. SLOW and dragging. The end is even more baffling. I don't know what happened because it is so confusing. I even went back several times to rewatch (on Netflix) to see if I missed something. I didn't. There was nothing there. Then the end is just confusing. I have no idea what happened at the end.

You know you're in for a thoughtful, challenging film when not one, but at least TWO of the reviews here are titled "Boring, boring, boring". But enough about you, rapier-witted viewer; what did you think of the film?This is an independent effort filmed without commercial backing, in the backyard of the producer's parents. This fact will amaze you when you see it. "Love" is one of those indies that reminds you that filmmaking isn't dead. (Just not profitable, in a world of boring viewers.) The parallels to 2001: A Space Odyssey (another "boring, boring, boring" film) are striking, right down to the fact that the leading men share an uncanny resemblance. In "Love", however, the antagonist is not a virus-infected computer, but the hero's own mind. Anyway, if you want to see what you can do with little money, a high concept, a talented actor (who holds down most of the movie all by himself; think "All Is Lost" -- yet another boring movie), and sheer grit, then give this a spin. It's an astonishing film.

It is a movie which tries to raise awareness of how strong but also sensitive human connections are and the fact that love is what keeps us alive, giving us strength to carry on. It presents an astronaut who suddenly loses contact with earth and from that moment on, a very tough struggle for mental sanity and survival begins. We're shown a lot of his memories, his thoughts and eventually some strange links he makes as a result of a mysterious find aboard his ship. Frankly, although I did find the beginning interesting, the whole movie started to fall abruptly towards boredom and it stayed there until the end. They had a great idea but they didn't know what to do with it. A lot of ambiguous events and unexplained phenomenon disappointed me as I had greater expectations in terms of story. I was surprised by its superb effects but they couldn't make up for a plot which leaves the impression that it is unfinished. I think that instead of prolonging some scenes which seemed to take forever (pointlessly), they should have done some explaining at least at the finale and not leave it as vague as it is, forcing everyone to guess and struggle to understand what they were trying to say.They've made their point with the main idea but the art is in the details and that's where this movie fails. It's a shame because it could have been a much better film for everybody to enjoy.

I read online that the budget for Love was $500,000. At a personal level this would be a nice lottery win, but in the film industry just a catering budget. The result is impressive to say the least, especially the Civil War scenes, which are incredible, a bravura piece of inventive film-making and editing that looks like it cost millions. The story isn't entirely original, but it is handled in an interesting way that maintains interest to the last frame. A good companion piece to Solaris (the Soviet version) for a sci-fi double bill.
