Josh S A Moment for Love is a dazzling, heartfelt, and wildly imaginative ride that bursts with visual flair and infectious humor. The costume design alone is worth the watch—each outfit a handcrafted spectacle filled with vibrant color, rich texture, and theatrical detail. From fantasy-inspired headpieces to lavish couture looks, every scene is a feast for the eyes, elevating the story into a world of pure visual delight. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Rasheed S This film was very unique and thoughtful, and to save was magical would be an understatement. I love the vulnerability of all the characters and a very subtle comedic takes. This was a very well crafted film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Dick M As someone who grew up in the rural south, I don't have much background in high fashion, "Haute Couture." A Moment for Love gave me an insight into this world, the sometimes petty jealousies, the runway pressures, and the artistic friendships. Most of all, the friendships, which triumph over the jealousies. This movie must have been very fun to make. It is visually stunning, not only the wardrobe, but the locations, with a magically castle overlooking LA and locations that include Venice. Bobby is the anchor but the friends that surround him give the movie its heart. I particularly loved the woman who played the contortionist as she brought an infectious joy to ever scene. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Pat H Gorgeous cinematography and a lovely, immersive sound mix are the gateways into this indie gem, with stunning costume design and a lush look. It's a campy delight with a sincerity and sweetness at its core, driven by some really nice performances all round. There's a message in here too, in amongst the silly jokes and spectacular wardrobe choices, about following your dreams and staying true to your path despite the obstacles that you might encounter. There's even the odd creepy moment thrown in, meaning there's really something for everyone here. Some beautiful framing choices add to the sense of this being a self-contained world, existing alongside our own and maybe just a wish away, bringing to mind early Tim Burton mixed with a whole boat load of glitz and glamour. There's some lovely music along the way, too. Bravo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Catherane S The visuals of this film are outstanding. The costumes are grand and larger than life but are also intricate in their design. Freezing the action is the only way to truly appreciate the vast panoramic eye-candy in this production. Then, there are the locales from LA to Venice, Italy! Just wonderful locations, wonderful set design. A quirky fantasy about being true to yourself and following your bliss, whether it's Bobby staying true to his art, an amazingly photogenic Bobby Love, or Trevor not giving up on his dream of music no matter what life throws at him, sung and played beautifully by Adam Huss. The song in the bar was especially haunting. Not to forget Bonnie Morgan who plays Suzy and Jenny. Aside from the welcome physicality,, she creates excellent characters. The visuals of the film alone make it worth a look. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Jim E As a filmmaker, I really appreciated how A Moment for Love took its time. It doesn't rush the story or try too hard to impress - it just lets the emotion build naturally. The cinematography is beautiful, with soft, thoughtful shots that really capture the mood without feeling forced. The performances are subtle and grounded. You can feel the history between the characters without needing it spelled out. It's the kind of storytelling that trusts the audience to connect the dots, which I always respect. Overall, it's a small, gentle film - but it hits deep. Definitely one of those stories that stays with you after the credits roll. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
