Initially, I was disappointed by the film, but I haven't been able to forget it since. I still think the characters are too unsympathetic to really invest in, but it has so many fine scenes and a critique of our modern way of life that is easy to relate to.

Get Andrey's will to convey social dramas set in Putin's Russia, but his easy metaphors - divorce being a tiny example of failure in a country where nothing works - and bland characters - iPhone mom sucks - often get in the way of his nicely staged visual sollutions and make his cinema dramatically inert. Russian Daniel Blake or Unknown Girl in its total lack of subtlety. In a way he's like Villeneuve or Inarritu, always showing society's WORST with a heavy-handed tone to make them even worse.

Bleak and tragic movie where everyone is miserable. The lack of thrills makes it very raw and genuine, almost to the point of being numb. The least emotional or interesting Zvyagintsev's movie I've seen so far, but still a very competent one.

Genius. Rivaled only by "Elena" in Zvyagintsev's oeuvre, and as bleak and harrowing as anything he's done. Superbly written and acted throughout, so that even minor characters are extremely lifelike. Heavily channels Antonioni in both subject matter and the symbolistic use of landscapes and establishing shots, but at the same time distinctly Russian, with heavy insistence on locale and culture - which, paradoxically, is the hallmark of a work of universal significance.

Ever since Izgnanie, I've had a love-hate relationship with Zvyagintsev's work - directorial marvels often burdened by lousy, boring scripts. Over the years - as he became part of the writing process - I've noticed his films becoming more personal and relatable, and Loveless is no exception. A stark drama masquerading as a missing-child procedural, this is superbly written, performed and executed, right up to its uncompromising ending.

Devastating and fraught family drama that taps into a dark aspect of human nature (selectivity of love and hate) that's revealed here in the society and the individual. The never-ending dread is helped by some very handsome cinematography and haunting music, and the performance from Maryana in particular is very revealing of a number of seemingly contradictory facets. Its genius is in how this sharply simply story is resonating in a way that makes it feel larger as time goes on after seeing it.

Stranger than I expected it to be, but bad things first: The character of the wife is a bit much, meaning she didn't have to look at her phone in almost every scene. We get it, she's self-absorbed in the digital world and doesn't care for her immediate surroundings anymore. The husband was a bit more mysterious, working in this sterile company which combines capitalist ethics with christian fundamentalism. Both inhabit a world which doesn't seem to care about them and I loved this feeling.

A scathing, unremittingly bleak portrait of modern Russia. An ideal film to watch if one is feeling rather too chipper and upbeat.

toplumlar mı deliriyor, yoksa bireyler mi? veya normlar o kadar kayganlaştı ki gerek heyecan gerek başka şeyler için *yolunu bulmaya* çalışan karakterler mi aslında "aklı başında" olanlar? ve hiçbir şeyin değişmediği son neden rahatsız edici bir mutluluk veriyor? kayıp çocuk hikayesi ve biraz kör göze olan metaforlarıyla çok itici bir film olabilecekken zvyagintsev'in gözüyle harika bir işe dönüşüyor.

The masterpiece of Zvyaginstsev. __ adamın amına tekme tokat koyan sağlam filmlerin en başında geliyor. Zvyagintsev Cannes'a haybeden abone olmadığını öyle bi' kanıtlamış ki, duygulara insan varlığına teknolojiye ilkelliğe uçan tekme atıp alın ulan demiş. MÜKEMMELDEN BİLE DAHA İYİ BİR BAŞYAPIT

Each movie Andrey Zvyagintsev directed getting worse since The Return. A soulless, loveless directing. He has a distinguishing style for sure, I am not a fan of it though.

Betygsättningen är ovanligt knepig eftersom jag nickade till nån gång, trots att filmen behöll mitt intresse... och jag därför undrar om jag kan ha missat nån viktig ledtråd. Bitvis stark film, t.ex. scenen där sonens vanmakt och ångest slår en som en höger i solar plexus. Men Z är mer intresserad av samhällskritik än av sin filmens huvudperson medan mitt intresse snarare är det omvända.

Before you praise Zvyagintsev unabashedly and let him crowd surf on your hands, just think about how easy it is to make a movie like Loveless. Zvyagintsev does not make mistakes because he smartly avoids here everything that could show his limited directorial abilities. Stunning acting? But how difficult it is to play total indifference then burst occasionally into tears, impersonate characters that barely interact? And, frankly, couldn't YOU write a script like this one?

Really liked this on the level of personal drama--the director creates a kind of brooding dread through rhythmic pacing and sparing use of music. When the story leads to an abandoned building, the devastation these parents have wrought is made concrete in a fascinating way. I was frustrated by the blunt, nationalistic allegory of the final scenes, as they dominate and overwhelm what is otherwise a delicate portrayal of the way life doesn't exist without love.

Boşanma sürecinde olan çift, birlikte olan oğullarına kaba davranır. Sevgilileriyle beraber olan anne ve baba, çocuğu ihmal eder. Çocuk evde yoktur. Uzun süresine rağmen, çarpık 1 aile dramının özüne iniyoruz. Yönetmen ve sinematografi muhteşem. Filmin sonunda, 1 saat boyunca arama kurtarma çalışması izliyoruz. Sonuç hiç iç açıcı değil. Wolswagen passat ma gol at.

Pretty powerful, similar tones as The Return. The film is about existing in a life without love, a situation that is possibly exacrerbated by modern detachment though screens and devices. Someone wrote online that there is no growth in this movie. And indeed, it's more of a window into their souls than a tale of redemption. There are a lot of emotions in this masterful movie, including sadness, emptiness, desperation, hope, and disappointment.

Settles on being a bleak parallel between modern familial ennui and the decay of the State. Opts to speak loudest with it's stillness - which makes this an icy cold watch.

With such a talented cinematographer, I could have done with a little less dialogue, and some points are made a bit too much in your face - but hey, if it looks this great, I'm not gonna complain.

It is very rare and fortunate to get good parents (either one of them), and it is sorry, but true, that most of the parents are fucked-up, shitty human beings---too cynical? Yes, I have seen life being tough in large number of instances.

Cold, chilly exploration of a marital breakdown incorporates elements of SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE and DON’T LOOK NOW, resulting in a distancing, antiseptic approach keeping the viewer at an arms length, even as Spivak and Rozin emote intensely; overplayed in terms of metaphor and characterisation (she definitely loves the phone fantasy world!) and too obtuse in getting to the specifics of why this relationship has imploded (and why the incident that drives the second half is handled so casually).
