Last night we finally got around to watching one of the zip movies on our TV stand: When Will I Be Loved (imdb | rotten tomatoes). It was another we’d wanted to see at the film festival last year but couldn’t; that’s probably for the best. I didn’t like it that much, and Nellie hated it. HATED it. Something about top ten worst movies ever. I didn’t hate it that much, but it certainly won’t make my year-end best-of list.

I thought Neve Campbell wasn’t the right person to pay the lead role, I thought pretension took the place of grit in too many scenes, and I thought 25% of the movie was unnecessary throwaway. But I also thought some of the shots were beautiful — especially in that loft, which was a hundred times sexier than a naked Neve Campbell — and the finale was interesting enough.

All in all, though: avoid, unless you’re in a pretentious kinda mood.
