A new documentary
Love, Etc. is a new documentary that follows five couples for one year in New York City: old, young, gay, straight, falling in love, getting married, having babies, breaking up. The film showed the complexities of romantic love--not just the happy stuff of Disney movies. I watched it this week and adored it. It was funny, heartbreaking and beautiful. Here's the trailer...
What do you think, my darlings? Would you want to see it?

ReplyDeleteHey Jo!
ReplyDeleteMy new husband and I caught Love Etc. in LA on Saturday night and really enjoyed it! The director and producer had a Q&A and shared some inside secrets- mainly that they hoped it would end like a Disney tale with rainbows, laughs, and eternal love and were surprised with the actual end result. It was beautiful and we went thanks to your post! We were once again reminded that the world is so very small and connected- thank you for your great work, Jo!
Oh my god, there's so much effective information above!
ReplyDeleteHey Jo - I've been jumping into documentaries on Netflix since you posted this (link to your top 10).
ReplyDeleteI just watched an amazing one, 180° South. It's truly breathtaking, inspiring, and asks all the right questions. It's even a bit funny. Check it out for your next movie night in.
In my view every person ought to look at it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your article, quite useful data.
