Todd C @ilwacohawk 11/24/2023 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. See more 06/15/2020 Wasted my time on this movie. Not even deserve a half star🙄 See more 04/24/2020 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. See more 01/09/2014 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.

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. See more 01/11/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
