When this came across my feed, I saw the cast and the plot and I thought it would be great and I wondered how I missed it. I mean: Josh Lucas, Jacqueline Bisset, Adam Brody, Lucas Haas...I thought it would be worth a watch. Well, I'm giving it 1 star. I think it tried to be artsy while really being mostly disgusting without a likeable character in the whole movie. It is quite pretentious and rarely intriguing. I will say that I was impressed with most of the sex scenes. They were steamy, but they seemed real. Not like we usually see in these types of films. All the people having sex were not always super hot and in shape. I honestly liked that part of the film. Great actors, but an unbelievable story that never really took off and was confusing at times. I hated the ending...other than the tie in to the first scene in the movie. That was a nice "bow" to put on this pig. I won't say more because it would be a spoiler. It really is a movie about wretched people living wretched lives and really no hope for the future. If I had to blame someone for this miserable movie, it is not the actors...it has to fall on the shoulders of the writer/director Boaz Yakin. I was feeling good about the film in the opening scenes of the "younger mother" in a concentration camp being sent to the Nazi that performs experiments on the Jewish prisoners and she uses her good looks and smarts to seduce him so she can stay alive. Right there is the beginning of what could be an interesting plot/story. It went downhill from there. One good thing I can say is that it will stay with you if you stick through the whole film. Man, I wish they would of had different twists and different storylines to follow.

Wasted my time on this movie. Not even deserve a half star🙄

This film does not pull any punch when it comes to gruesome and explicit scenes. I did not understand the point of this film it was very boring, and some scenes were just out of it. This feels like a very personal film but unfortunately the few powerful scenes in there, the great performance of Lucas, Bisset, and great ideas can't save a weak script and a weak story. So for this being one horrible film that just end up bring one of the worst movies out there, I give " Death In Love" an F.

Boaz Yakin has created a provocative, perverse, angry and highly uncomfortable film that has one too many twists for its own good. I suspect the audience who will like this film is much smaller than the one who will hate it. I found it to a fascinating and surreal exploration into psychological and pathological self-loathing. The use of the The Holocaust is a very bold and repugnant choice -- but this film is absolutely riveting. The acting is top notch. Bisset gives a solid and unforgettable performance. While the film verges on prevention is somehow manages to pull back just enough to leave an impact. Yakin's film is as ambitious as it is disgusting. There are so many dark themes regarding human nature and survival it is both impossible to simply dismiss it and nearly impossible to fully embrace it. But, in my opinion, this is a haunting and powerful little film. Be warned: a movie about the darkness of humanity, pain and survival is not going to be suitable for popcorn and a date.

That was kind of a creepy movie. All about the emotional detachment for love that is felt by a woman who was in a Nazi concentration camp, and how that detachment for love kind of runs through this woman's family as she grows older. Now her sons suffer from emotional detachment, and struggle to show their love for others. Interesting, but the way that it was presented was kind of creepy to me.

I was surprised by the number of "name" actors in this low-budget movie. But, from the opening sequence, I was impressed with the writing and directing and can understand why they would want to be associated with this project, because it was a true work of art. That being said, apparently this movie is not for everyone. But if you like something different that pushes the envelope give it a shot.

Disappointing. Had heaps of potential, but ran out of steam. Started off very interestingly, and seemed set to be quite profound. However, it doesn't progress further than the setup, just drifting after the first Act, basically. Ends up being fairly pretentious and pointless. Solid performances from Josh Lucas, Jacqueline Bisset and Lukas Haas, in the main roles. Good support from Adam Brody and Vanessa Kai.

Simple and single word "DISGUSTING".....

I'm currently 5 minutes into the film and not sure if it's worth the other 95. So far, there is a montage of a Dr. Mengele-type nazi cutting into women spliced with various sexual encounters narrated by Josh Lucas griping about aging (or so I think that's what I heard, I was too distracted by the odd juxtaposition of sex and mutilated bodies to make sense of the words.) Edit: 17 minutes into the film and it's just not happening. I don't care about a single character or their problems.

For the record, the last thing a beautiful naked woman(Morena Baccarin) wants to deal with is a man(Josh Lucas) in the middle of a midlife crisis, causing her to get dressed and leave, leading him to masturbate himself to sleep. He's not the only one not getting any, as his younger brother(Lukas Haas), a talented but emotionally disturbed pianist with weird eating habits, suffers under the thumb of their controlling mother(Jacqueline Bisset), a Holocaust survivor. So much so, that the older brother cedes control of his apartment to him, forcing him back into the workplace of a semi-legit talent agency where he meets the new gun(Adam Brody). As "The Night Porter" proved decades ago, trying to combine sex and the Holocaust can only move a film into exploitation territory no matter how artsy you think you are. And that's especially the case with "Death in Love" that also has predictability and ponderousness amongst its sins. On the plus side, it valiantly tries to explore the connection between the body and the soul with some memorable images like the opening montage of sex and dissection and rabbis preparing bodies for burial. The older son wonders if his mother has a soul(he puts it much more crudely), considering how cold hearted she seems. That attitude actually allowed her to survive the Holocaust intact, but in the movie's eyes, it also somehow makes her complicit in its crimes.

well acted drama about the bad side of love

Garbage.....senseless and dull.....

Its hard to get turned on about a film that blends excessive nudity with images of graphic concentration camp surgeries. Although Josh Lucas is naked a lot I doubt I would ever sit through this again. Its a depressing film about a series of emotionally detached characters. No thanks.

little disturbing, not as good as i got, little boring but enjoyed...... sexy, graphic and well casted.

Appaling drama about a woman who gave sex favours to Nazi war criminals during the war, as one of them reappears later in life. Turgid, badly acted and at times downright repugnant

Thought this movie was strange, disjointed and just a big waste of time... There was basically no storyline and it jumped from one image to another with nothing to really link them....

Turn it off after the first 7 minutes. You've already seen the best parts

Really good movie I thought, kept me interested from the beginning on. The ending could have been a lot better. I enjoyed this movie though.

DEPRESNYAK and WASTE of TIME!!!

I would have liked to see more of the mother's story. The two sons weren't that interesting.
