William D @acsdoug 04/21/2023 Incredibly slow paced, the last third or so started to get interesting, but then the ending was pretty disappointing. See more steve c 11/14/2022 Well kids. Don't lie. Be honest in your relationships or someone will call the police. Dat ending ... hmmm ... See more dave s 07/07/2022 Despite not being shot in his native country of Iran, Abbas Kiarostami's Like Someone in Love is still a uniquely Kiarostami film. Set in Tokyo, it tells the story of a young girl who studies sociology, serving as a prostitute at night, and her non-sexual relationship with an elderly man who is looking for companionship, all complicated by the presence of the girl's horribly abusive boyfriend. While the story itself isn't as intriguing as some of Kiarostami's more notable works, it is stylistically stunning, as one would expect, filled with long takes that allow the viewer to read the faces of the characters, whose expressions and reactions to situations often explain more than the dialogue. The ending may be disappointing for some viewers, as is the case with many of his movies, but, as a whole and in many ways, Like Someone in Love is as rewarding and accessible as anything else he has done.
