The Feast of Love Movie is Worth Seeing
by annevm
The 28 movie reviews collected at metacritic put The Feast of Love at 51 out of 100, a “mixed or average“ sort of rating. I liked it more than that. So far viewers’ opinions - all three of them - have pushed the film to a 6 out of 10 in that division. That’s more like it, although I enjoyed it more than that, too. The review most closely reflecting my thoughts was also the most positive, from Richard Corliss in Time magazine: “Sexy, funny, sad and defiantly romantic, Feast of Love is the rare movie to cuddle up to.” The movie definitely is faithful to the 2000 novel set in Ann Arbor The Feast of Love by Charles Baxter, with lots of Ann Arbor-like scenes (great job, Portland!).

It's too bad "Feast of Love" is not a comedy, because some of its situations have the potential for sending up romantic idealism. Instead, this cornucopia of foibles, with its penny portraits of treachery and innocence amounts to little more than high-class soap opera.
