Review of Kiss Me

Kiss Me (2011)
9/10
Does love grow without honesty?
4 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I understand why many would rate this film low. Perhaps they think you cannot fall in love in 2 days. Or that you would not give up a 7 year relationship after one fling.

I think this film has a much more important message that transcends the sexual status of the people (regardless of homosexual, heterosexual etc). The message is that love does not grow without honesty - true, sometimes brutal honesty.

That is why I rate this film highly, it is much more than just a love story. Every character is on a journey of becoming honest.

The father must confront his feelings and even learn how to express himself.

Mia must examine why she is engaged, and what her life will look like if she continues with the expected, "safe" option - and don't tell me that this does not happen - look at divorce rates around the world.

And Frida, well she has never been unfaithful and never really been in love - until now.

Lovely story, really well told with fantastic locations and filming and beautiful, subtle acting.

Thank you.
