Audience Member It's alittle strange in a normal way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Its interesting how beautiful this movie is despite being shot entirely on cheap video. Goes to show that its not the film format you shoot on but what you do with it. While not gripping from start to finish (though it does have its moments) there is enough here to whole heartedly recommend it to movie making fans who will appreciate the great story that was told on such a small budget. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite possibly the epitome of British film-making! Epic, moving, funny, exciting, exhilarating: it has everything you could want from a film, minus the tacky Hollywood glitz. One of the freshest films I've ever seen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member good, real atmosphere and a drama of strange life's Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 11111111111111111111 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member While digital video often is employed by filmmakers to no real aesthetic end beyond its speed, technical simplicity and reduced cost, in "This Is Not a Love Song," British director Bille Eltringham harnesses its creative possibilities, along with a variety of experimental techniques, to bring emotional edge, tension and visual texture to a fugitive thriller that could have been standard genre fare.
