Love, On Netflix, Is An Exercise In Style Over Substance

Full review here - https://www.filmcompanion.in/readers-articles/love-malayalam-movie-netflix-is-an-exercise-in-style-over-substance/

Khalid Rahman‘s Love opens with a pregnancy test. So in the very first scene, a drop of yellow liquid (you know what it is) drops onto the stick. Just a few minutes further into the film and the frames are colour-coded with yellow. If you are a bit grossed out by this sentence, that’s okay, because Love intends to disgust you – though not with this colour. It’s just another way of conveying that things will go to shit, meaning get ready for some weird mind-bending twists. When I wrote the previous sentence, a part of my brain thought it looked cool, which is something Rahman may have felt while writing the screenplay with Noufal Abdullah. Unfortunately, the “coolness” is limited to the writing. What you get on screen does not hold up for a long time.
