Scene from Almost in Love (Picture: ADFF).

Sam Neave’s third feature film Almost in Love presents the idea of love triangles in a very simplistic but experimental manner. Read below for triplew.me’s review of the film

The film takes place in two forty-five minute takes. We are introduced to the characters in an unusual way; a flurry of conversation and emotions leads us through their motives and stories.

The first take is set at sunset, and presents the part where the challenge actually happens. We are introduced to the love triangle in the setting of a casual party. We are exposed slowly through organic conversation about the love triangle underlying tensions that go with it.

The second take happens eighteen months after the first one – and goes into sunrise. This second part presents us with a semblance of a resolution, exhibited also through a natural progression of conversation towards a natural resolution.

The film benefits from a talented cast which brings the lucid dialogue to life. While watching Almost in Love, it almost feels like we are crashing someone else’s party or intruding into some else’s moment. This candid nature of the film provides it with a lot of charming and heart-warming scenes and moments.

Sam Neave presents us with a unique take on the classic love-triangle story. A film presented in two single takes (Each of 45-minutes length). The proficient cast makes the most out of a limited setting and realistically fluid dialogue.
