THE ONE I LOVE directed by Charlie McDowell, written by
Justin Lader, and produced by Mel Eslyn. At the onset of this film that portrayed
itself as maybe a romantic comedy waiting to unfold itself to you soon you
realize it’s not that. The story concept to me was very fresh, something I
don’t have anything to reference it with, which is good. The pace of the film
drew you in and as things began to get stranger you went right along with it
hoping that the characters would rekindle their relationship in the midst of
the unexplained happenings. Stylistically the film was portrayed rather
straightforwardly letting the story be the standout piece. I really thought
this was an imaginative film only wishing there was more of delving deep within
the relationship to draw out more awkwardness bringing the resolution of the
film a greater meaning and what if. Overall I gave THE ONE I LOVE 4 stars for
an interesting concept, story, and characters that kept me intrigued all the
way through.
