High expectations dashed: Long Live Love is a major disappointment
29 September 2023
I had high expectations for Long Live Love, given its superb veteran cast. But the movie was extremely underwhelming.

The film is full of melodrama, with characters overreacting to situations and making overly dramatic speeches. The characters are underdeveloped, with little depth or complexity. And the dialogue is extremely corny and exaggerated. The plot is also really predictable and clichéd. You can see everything coming from a mile away.

The main character, Namo, is extremely unlikable. She's selfish, judgmental, and makes a lot of bad decisions. I think my annoyance with this character was magnified by the fact that she's played by a novice actress alongside seasoned actors. The mismatch in acting skills stuck out like a sore thumb. It would have been better if they casted a more capable actress or replaced the veteran actors with actors who are more on her level of acting. Subpar acting won't stick out as much if everyone else is also subpar.

Was really looking forward to this but unfortunately, I ended up extremely disappointed.
