Following an incredibly successful limited release run in 2017 that culminated in a nomination in the most recent Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film, Loveless finally opened in select theaters in the United States early in 2018. Centered around a troubled relationship and their child, Loveless is already a classic of Russian cinema. And now that it’s on streaming platforms and available on DVD/Blu-Ray, even more people can view its haunting beauty. Not to mention that the film led to a pretty great opportunity for fellow MovieBabble collaborator Richard Keaney!
The review above is spoiler free.
