Movie Review – A Love Song

Faye (Dale Dickey) is biding her time fishing, birding, and stargazing at a rural Colorado campground as she awaits the arrival of Lito (Wes Studi), a figure from her past. It has been many decades since the last time they saw each other. They reminisce on what their life was back then. The conversation slowly reveals to us and each other some of the things that have happened in the passing decades. Rekindling a friendship they had when they were younger. Possibly even rekindling some of the feelings they had back then. All the while enjoying the campsite and scenery around them. Sit back, relax and let the movie flow at its pace. But pay attention and be present.

This is definitely a slow-burn movie. Full of nuance and subtlety and plenty of quiet moments of reflection. Don’t be distracted or on your phone while watching this movie, if you really want to get the most out of it. Both actors convey so much complexity and emotion so subtly, it was great. There will definitely be people that won’t like the pace of this movie. But not every movie needs to be “go go go go”. We need to take the time to appreciate and reflect on what’s happening. This movie does it wonderfully. The more I reflect on the movie. The better the rating is getting. A Love Song is a perfect name for this movie. That reminds us that love can nourish and mystify us at any age.

About The Peetimes: This movie it’s full of nuance and subtlety. I did find 2 Peetimes and tried to convey some of the nuances in the description as well. I recommend the 2nd peetime as it’s longer before we start wrapping up to the end of the movie.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of A Love Song.

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
