She Is Love

In "She Is Love," director Jamie Adams explores the relationship between estranged exes Patricia (Haley Bennett) and Idris (Sam Riley) in a largely improvisational style. Unfortunately, the dialogue drones on and the characters lack chemistry, making it difficult to care about their reconnection. The portrayal of Patricia never quite reaches the level of loveable haplessness, and the majority of the film follows the two awkwardly trying to avoid each other and revisiting their past. The emotions and drama feel unearned, and the film ultimately falls flat with a maudlin and boring climax. Despite the talent of Bennett and Riley, this flimsy material fails to deliver.
