Yet, like every project Noé dives into — from the intense crime drama I Stand Alone and the emotionally heavy Irreversible to the trippy Enter the Void — Love offers up some pretty spellbinding visuals, to put it mildly.
Now that you can stream it on-demand, there are a couple of things you might want to think about before you settle in to watch it, especially if you’re thinking of viewing it with your other half.
Right from the start to the very end, we’re pulled into the intimacy of these lovers who are on a mission to explore every desire, leading them to bring Omi (Klara Kristin) into their adventures.
Heads-up, if you’re watching this with your partner, brace yourself for the “threesome talk” afterward.
In that case, you both might actually find Love quite the ride. And to that, I tip my hat to you.
So, unless you and your sweetheart are totally aligned in what you’re comfortable exploring, maybe watch Love on your own time. Honestly, it’s not worth an argument.
Setting potential relationship landmines aside, if you’re both cinephiles, then you’ll likely appreciate that Love is visually stunning.
Some parts are tough to sit through, especially when Murphy and Electra’s interactions turn aggressive.
On the flip side, Noé’s twisted humor shines through, ensuring that even in its most melodramatic moments, you might just find yourself laughing out loud.
Just maybe pull the curtains first. You wouldn’t want to give the neighbors the wrong impression.
