A touching ballad of love and loss
IN A NUTSHELL:
Faye (Dale Dickey) is a lone traveler biding her time fishing, birding, and stargazing at a rural Colorado campground as she awaits the arrival of Lito (Wes Studi), a figure from her past who is navigating his own tentative and nomadic journey across the rugged West. Like the country music that has traditionally channeled the heartbreak and resilience of Americans in search of themselves and others, A Love Song weaves a lyrical and ultimately joyful refrain out of the transformative act of being alone -and reminds us that love can nourish and mystify at any age.
This lovely, simple movie feels like a sad ballad. It was written and directed by Max Walker-Silverman.
THINGS I LIKED: Dale Dickey's face has so much character and her acting appears effortless. I've only ever seen her play small roles, so I was thrilled to see her star in her own feature film. Will she be nominated for an Oscar?
Wes Studi is another talented actor who has mostly been on the sidelines, so it's nice to see him play a leading role with Dale Dickey. They are fantastic. You can see their deep pain.
Beautiful cinematography.
The subtle humor is quirky and welcome.
Look closely for the symbolism as Faye represents mankind. I especially loved the visual when she's sitting on top of a mountain and lays down, becoming part of the mountain itself.
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's a slow burn. Some viewers will get tired of waiting for something to "happen".
TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be completely bored. So will some adults.
Kissing.
THEMES: Love and loss Second chances Childhood sweethearts Romance Loneliness Memories Reinventing yourself Waiting for what's next How our lives touch one another
FUNNY LINES: * "Maam, we'd like you to have our canoe. It'll do you good for recreation and romantic excursions." - little cowgirl
