Francis j I must be missing something. The reviews I read seem to be mostly positive. I found this movie excruciating and wordy with not much to redeem it. Admittedly, the camera work was good but the storyline and acting fairly amateurish. Frankly,a waste of my time Sorry if this review does not resonate with most Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review William D Incredibly slow paced, the last third or so started to get interesting, but then the ending was pretty disappointing. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review steve c Well kids. Don't lie. Be honest in your relationships or someone will call the police. Dat ending ... hmmm ... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review dave s Despite not being shot in his native country of Iran, Abbas Kiarostami's Like Someone in Love is still a uniquely Kiarostami film. Set in Tokyo, it tells the story of a young girl who studies sociology, serving as a prostitute at night, and her non-sexual relationship with an elderly man who is looking for companionship, all complicated by the presence of the girl's horribly abusive boyfriend. While the story itself isn't as intriguing as some of Kiarostami's more notable works, it is stylistically stunning, as one would expect, filled with long takes that allow the viewer to read the faces of the characters, whose expressions and reactions to situations often explain more than the dialogue. The ending may be disappointing for some viewers, as is the case with many of his movies, but, as a whole and in many ways, Like Someone in Love is as rewarding and accessible as anything else he has done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I haven't watched a Kiarostami film in years, so that was a good opportunity revisiting his cinema, although this specific film is not as good as his 90s ones.
