Critic Reviews for Of Love and Shadows
All Critics (5) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4)
Misconceived and curiously uninvolving political melodrama, despite the urgent subject.
Nice performances by Connelly and Banderas can't make up for the rest of this snoozefest.
Audience Reviews for Of Love and Shadows
Starts slowly but builds interest as a newly paired sheltered journalist (Jennifer Connelly) and subversive photographer (Antonio Banderas) who works "in the shadows" uncover military atrocities in 1970s Chile. He comes off as a real prick in the opening scenes but the story develops in a way that makes their close working relationship turn into a believable love affair with both reacting to a desperate need to cherish life amidst a country full of tragic stories under the domineering thumb of a fascist government. Novelty to see Connelly cast as a Chilean, she's positively gorgeous and her accent is not bad at all, it's the Spanish & South American actors speaking English with heavy accents that can be hard to understand! The stars share a passionate love scene in the mountains outside an abandoned mine, now that would be one hearty good-lookin' baby.
