This was a surprisingly good movie. This is one of those movies where the mystery most reviews and comments mention is the main reason to watch this film. Try not to ruin the surprise and watch this movie. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes romantic movies, romantic-comedy movies, and people who don't like either of those genres.

I adored this movie from start to finish, especially because I watched it with no prior knowledge of what it was about. This is my preferred way of watching movies–I always avoid movie trailers and try to know as little as possible when I sit down to watch something. This strategy pays off for a movie like this, because what begins as a seemingly straight-forward story about a couple struggling to rejuvenate their troubled relationship begins to slowly veer away into some truly uncharted territory. I don’t want to divulge too much, but I’ll say that it reminded me of Groundhog Day in the way that it incorporates a strain of magic into the proceedings, which completely turns one’s expectations upside down. Duplass and Moss carry the show here (apart from a small cameo from Ted Danson), and they do a magnificent job. In particular, Moss’s performance reminded me of the brilliant work done by Naomi Watts, playing Diane Selwyn/Betty Elms in Mulholland Drive. She’s that good. Watch this movie, but don’t read anything about it!!

A big part of my movie enjoyment is seeing how a movie is unfolds and the different directions a movie can go. I love it when I can see the director taking the movie in ten different directions. I also love it when a movie stays with me for days because of all of the questions that it raises. This film is about a couple that is trying to save their failing marriage. Their counselor (freaking Ted Danson!) recommends that they try a weekend retreat to a place where many of his other patients had found success. Sure enough, they get there and there is a record of all of the success stories. And then.... I can't say. What I can say is that it is like no other film I've ever seen and it was amazing. Elisabeth Moss was unbelievable in her "role" and the Duplass Brothers delivered another fantastic film. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Some of the complaints about the movie were about the sci-fi angle and the resolution. While this has a touch of sci-fi the sci-fi is really just a tool used to get us to ponder our own relationships. The movie is about questions and thus shouldn't be tidied up at the end. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies

Such a weird movie, a welcome fresh breath of air. A bit of comedy, a bit of drama and a lot of mystery. Good plot, great actors. Mark Duplass once again, great! And while the ending wasn't that surprising, it didn't spoil any of the magic in this movie.

The One I Love had a cool concept it could have done more with. Rather than exploring the sci-fi angle, the movie concentrated the bulk of its runtime on deception and distrust in relationships... which, I guess I should have expected based on the movie's title, but still. It's not till the third act that anything like that happens, but it was nevertheless pretty good.
