Spoilers: I'd watch Riley Keough read the phone book. Her ability to convey feelings, emtions, thoughts, beneath the surface stuff would make grandpa Elvis proud, and that holds if her grandpa were Joe Shmo. I feel almost the same way about Jenna Malone. I saw those two names and had to try this movie, and stayed throughout. The only disappointment was lack of story commitment --- Riley's "I love you" just before the wedding was just undefined enough to slide as friendship, though both women knew it was more, and on came the wedding. Worst, there is no ending. What happened to their love, closeness? We are left to speculate that it ended, or that it grew and superseded both marriages. That the feelings they shared were just fleeting, or that they were so big that the two would find a way back to one another and never leave. It questions what the nature of marriage is and what the nature of friendship can be. Were the principals saying nudge, nudge, wink, wink, we'll figure a way to have both -- each other and husbands. The flow could have been tighter and they could have fit more of those meat and potatoes into this plot. But I guess the long term was a bit too daunting for them to deal with. It ended more a marshmallow than a blockbuster, a slice of life rather than the big picture of a longtime relationship. Bravo to Riley and Jenna, and the rest of the cast was just window dressing, even Eggold and Arquette.

No bond can truly be broken or change Director So Yong Kim tells a tale of friendship and deep connection starring Riley Keough and Jena Malone Neglected by her husband, Sarah embarks on an impromptu road trip with her young daughter, Jessie and her best friend, Mindy Along the way, the dynamic between the two friends intensifies before circumstances force them apart Years later, Sarah attempts to rebuild their intimate connection in the days before Mindy's wedding Keough and Malone are so terrific together as two close friends, they never expect to grow closer as much as they do here Lots of unusual feelings and conflicting emotions test their friendship, they know they can count on each other but who knows if they can still live their own lives separately This is a very intimate character study relying on facial expressions rather than having everything told through verbalizing; love is love and our desires have to be muted in order to move on Short, emotion-fueled, and very lifelike by centering on two female friends who go back and forth about how to go about their lives

Utter trash. The plot idea had so much potential which was THROWN AWAY. TO THE TRASH.

Utter garage, no lesbian scenes

It's not a bad movie, but i was expecting something better. There are some nice and a little emotionals moments, but there isn't an "oh my god!" twist in the plot, although that's not the real point, 'cause i always like this type of indie movies about simple stories and based on acting and dialogues, but i watched better than this. I liked the relationship between the two girls but i didn't appreciated the direction that it gone through (and not because i'm homophobic or whatelse), i find it a little bit "meh" as a narrative cue. So yeah, the film isn't a shitty one, it flows, but it's only an "it passed the time" for me.

It's subtle yet poignant film. The glances... The nervousness. The leads had so much chemistry that I wished better ending for them.

So delicated, so sad.

Simply beautiful. A movie you watch to feel.

Subtle, sensitive and tender, the film does a beautiful job of portraying a relationship with so little words. An aching love story told only with glances and uncomfortable silences.

This film explores a very murky area between gay and straight, and between friendship and romantic love. You're the right audience if you can relate to complicated and/or confusing love, and have a high tolerance for slow pacing. It's a quiet, restrained film that many will find dull, but if you're in the right head space it's beautiful and affecting.

Pretty good movie. Though much of this story feels like it's been told before, it's told with such grace and heart that it's compelling and features great performances from its leads.

Incredible chemistry between the two leads, and storyline that hinted at the complications of love and friendship in a way that was deceptively simple, gentle, and honest.

A really beautiful movie about love and friendship. I was a sobbing mess by the end of it.

Those long gazes, glances, but dreadful silence was surprisingly powerful, i skipped my heartbeat quite a few times.

I've been thinking about this film since I first saw it back in February. It's a shame that people aren't talking about this beautiful and quietly heartbreaking film. Riley Keough gives by far my favorite performance of the year as a lonely stay-at-home mother who is longing for human connection. She delivers so much through the glances and body language, and her chemistry with Jena Malone is so electrifying that you won't be able to take your eyes off of them. It is beautifully shot and beautifully acted, the dialogue is sparse but feels very natural (I wonder if some of it was improvised), and there are so many beautiful silent moments throughout the film that I just love. Watching it the second time around was just as powerful and emotional as the first time viewing. It is one of my favorite films of 2017.

It may seem pointless and meaningless at first sight, but a neat direction and overall realistically clean dialogue makes for a touching and heartfelt drama about the paths of friendship and love, due mostly to its two main characters.

In the vivid spirit of Krisha.

Lovesong profiteert van een goed spel tussen Jena Malone en Riley Keough, maar krijgt helaas maar weinig om tanden dat gaat over hun geheimzinnige lesbische relatie, die te kort wordt gedaan om ruimte te maken voor nodige opvulling die de drama juist doen remmen. Intieme kleine film die juist meer van dat intieme nodig had moeten hebben.

'Lovesong' tells a cliche story, but it's overcome by it's beauty and acting. The scenery is marvelous and Riley Keough's performance is nuanced. She is a future superstar if she gets the right scripts. Jena Malone and Keough have a fantastic chemistry, but the premise here has been told by Independent filmmakers for years. It's not a must watch, but if you like movies about people who are in love but happen to not be together then you'll get your money's worth. Final Score:7.0/10

A brilliant, tender first half--a frustratingly repetitive latter.
