Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Shalaw Fatah (Spoiler Alert) 1. What's interesting about this movie is the idea, which is unique, but everything else is nonsense. 2. The main idea is good. However, the other sideline stories are so bad that you lose interest in the whole movie. 3. The movie seriously needed more twists and interesting story lines, but it feels like the writer didn't care much. 4. Also such movies need more intimate feelings and synergy, but the actors were seriously like imitating for kids, not in a serious movie. 5. The revelation of the story was bad, it could have been much nicer. 6. The movie is not good enough to watch.

Vikingbyheart Some movies can show that cinema is not just made of large productions and even with low budget and no major special effects you can produce a great film. This is the case of The One I Love, first feature-film of the director Charlie McDowell. With an original script and filmed almost in one set (a country house), the viewer is captivated by the story and the main characters in such a way that he will wait anxiously for the outcome of the plot. The One I Love reminds us of another great film in the same style that also did not have the proper recognition: Coherence (2013).The story involves a couple, Ethan (played by Mark Duplass, known for Safety Not Guaranteed - 2012) and Sophie (played by Elisabeth Moss, known for the character Peggy Olson in the TV series Mad Men - 2007-2015), which make therapy to try to overcome the serious marital crisis in which they live. After an unsuccessful attempt to rediscover love through an important and happy time in the past, on the verge of separation, the therapist (played by Ted Danson, known for Saving Private Ryan - 1998) suggests as the last device in attempt to save the marriage of the couple that they spend a weekend in his cottage. What begins as a romantic and fun retreat soon becomes surreal when an unexpected discovery requires both to rethink about themselves, their relationships and their future.This is the typical movie that the less you know about the plot the better will be your cinematographic experience. Despite being classified as a romance, drama and science fiction, the movie can not be classified in a predominant genre. There are also passages of suspense and mystery in the history. And here we must highlight the work of the director and Justin Lader's great script, who tackles an issue that is not new (marital crisis) in a creative and engaging way. There is a deep approach to the difficulties of living together with someone as well as the expectations that we created with respect to each other and also to the new. There was a concern to keep the two views of the plot (the vision of man and woman) in balance, and the story does not force the viewer to tilt to one side. The soundtrack is subtle and sometimes goes unnoticed, but it sets the tone needed for the various stages of the work.A curiosity revealed by Duplass (which besides actor is also a director, writer and producer) in this interview, was that although the script has 50 pages and be carefully detailed, both in movement and in which the characters are doing, it doesn't have written dialogue. Thus, each piece of dialogue in the film was improvised. The actors were being as natural as they could with their motivations and the trajectory of the scene and using surprises so that the other does not accommodate, making more spontaneous actions than if they were rehearsing. It is noteworthy that the duo Duplass and Moss delivered fine performances both individually and as a couple. The viewer is involved in the story and have the impression that is watching a actual story with real characters and conflicts.The title of the film, The One I Love, seems innocent and generic, but gains new connotations when contrasted with the story itself and the movie poster. With a few twists, a clever and intriguing plot and a deliberately open-ending, the movie will leave you thinking about its nuances. This is a film that provokes reflection and certainly will rouse in the viewer the will to go back in the history, whether to contemplates it in detail or to try to get some answers to the questions that were unanswered.

V Mateo I could honestly say this movie was unexpectedly good. I admit reading a bit of a spoiler and yet did not quite see the twist coming. I would've given a 10/10 - or perhaps a 12/10 if we could - if it wasn't because we - the viewers - were left with sorta ambiguity and mystery with the desktop scene. It would've been even better if that scene was cut out but then again it didn't make sense to me at first when Ethan was discovering the house and passed by that room therefore leaving us with questions. That was obviously intentional. I'm personally not a romantic comedy fan but the plot seemed so intriguing that I had to check it out and I do not regret it.

Geeky Randy In an attempt to save their marriage, Duplass and Moss retreat to a beautiful secluded estate, with a guest house that challenges whether or not they'll ever be able to fulfill each other's expectations of partnership. Commendable for its originality and ability to force the viewer to reflect on love; but it gets lost too quickly in genre-shuffle (dry-comedy, drama and romance iced with THE TWILIGHT ZONE), and the execution is just so poorly done that it's difficult to maintain an open-mind. Ted Danson plays the therapist who recommends the getaway spot. ** (out of four)
