Cinephile No. 591 "Up for Love"
"Up for Love" was my biggest surprise at the 2016 Seattle International Festival. First of all, I didn't know what I was seeing. My partner picked the film for us. Secondly, as the opening scene got underway, I didn't expect the movie to be as funny and heartfelt as it was. Over the next two hours, I watched the story of opposites attract play out before me with originality, humor, and real emotion. All of which shattered my expectations and made me proud that this was my final film at the festival. For these reasons and many more, you should do all that you can to get your hands on this wonderful French comedy.
Be good to each other,
