Movie Info

Independent filmmaker Nancy Savoca's True Love stars Annabella Sciorra as a none-too-bright young lady who evinces untapped brilliance in getting her boyfriend Ron Eldard to the altar. Sciorra's work is certainly cut out for her: Eldard, who prefers chumming around with his old high school chums, is a virtual stranger to the word "commitment." Even so, a wedding date is set, and the guests begin gathering. Will the bells peal for Sciorra, or is she in for another let-down? Hardly original

R, 1 hr. 44 min.

Comedy, Romance

Nancy Savoca's first (and still best) film shows a good, sensitive ear to the lingo and subculture of this ethnic milieu, of both genders. Competing at Sudance Fest in 1989, it won the jury award for best drama.

Comes only in a non-widescreen format, but the DVD at least also carries the film's original theatrical trailer.

Even though the story is simple, the characters aren't.

An honest, thoughtful look at a real relationship and the various pitfalls surrounding it.

Hollywoodized vision of working class East Coasters. Character development is limited to cliches. Nothing happens here that you don't expect.

Having grown up on Long Island with people like Donna and Michael, watching True Love was more like watching a documentary than a movie! This is a pretty good movie. I recommend it.
