Review of The Lovers

The Lovers (2023–2024)
10/10
Excellent script, direction & acting
10 September 2023
A delightful mix of humour (some of it dark humour), relationship building & breaking, religion & secularity, against a background of personal mental strife and potential suicide. All set in present-day Belfast but with the history & unresolved issues still dividing communities starkly visible.

Two very different people falling in love, two similarish people falling out of love, fame (or not), vindictiveness, empathy & understanding, the absurdity of the news, politics & entertainment worlds, the everyday absurdities of a supermarket & its staff, all combine to create immediate recognition in the viewer.

Tightly written, tightly directed, well photographed and superbly well acted - this is a gem. The leads are believable, sexy, intelligent, witty, supporting cast each perfect in their own ways.
