I watched this because I want to see more Dichan Lachman movies. I first saw her years ago and then more recently in "The 100". There's something about her face that is mesmerising.So I'm really glad to say that we see a lot of her face in this very pleasant movie - lots of close-ups which show up her incredible features.But what was really surprising for me was the acting - it was really good. I was expecting poor acting with pretty faces, but I was pleasantly surprised.Nice to read Dichan's parents writing a review too! I hope Dichan gets more recognition and more films offers. Can't get enough of her.

I had been waiting for quite some time for this movie to become available. As a hug fan of most all the cast members I was hoping the film would deliver. I am happy to report that is does indeed. I found the film to reflect all the hard work and love that it is obvious was poured in it by Anton King the director and the cast. The chemistry between Dichen Lachman and Fran Kranz is wonderful. Fans of "Dollhouse" will of course be thrilled to see former cast members reunited for this project. Miracle Laurie gives a wonderful performance as does Enver Gjokaj. Add in a dash of Felicia Day and how can you go wrong right? I have already watched Lust for Love twice now and I enjoyed it even more the second viewing. I recommend seeking this film out. Its perfect timing for a watch over Valentines Day single or otherwise!

Lets start with the bad things. The story is recycled to the point of not even being funny. Not going to get into details not to be spoiler-y, but I can think of at least a dozen movies since the 80s (including one from John Hughes), which tell pretty much the same story. Oh, did I say bad thingS? I meant mediocre thing. Singular.The casting is first class. I mean, not only we are filled with Joss Weadon alumni, as a bonus we get Caitlin Stasey. The production is simple but effective. Directing is one of the finest. Acting, also first class.Lust for Love is a recycled love story, which would ordinarily make is a B movie even for an indie. However, the overall qualify of the movie; and yes, even the take on the story, recycled or not, make it something you definitely should watch.

"Disappointed" is the word that springs to mind after finishing this film for the first time. After watching the trailer I was sure this would be a hit - what could go wrong with throwing together a load of Dollhouse alum in front of the camera? Apparently, almost everything. Fran Kranz, as always, plays his role brilliantly considering what he had to work with and is, in my opinion, the film's only saving grace. The acting in general is largely wooden, the directing is flat and uninteresting, the plot is cliché and predictable, but most of all - the script is horrendous. The writer seems to opt for a snappy Whedon-esque form of dialogue that falls so flat for the most part, it can be painful to watch. I can only express my sincerest condolences to those who backed this project on Kickstarter, and were looking forward to this film as much as I was.
