Movie #1761 ........................."Components of Love"

Movie #1761 "Components of Love" -- this movie deals with the comfortable and uncomfortable moments of love --- a take off on "Betrayal" that shows the beginning and ending of a relationship, and then what can come next when people pick up the pieces  --- there's no doubt we are told constantly that love is a complexity, but this film shows it ---- the plot is below and you can see how complex that is, and what compounds the problem is the equal love for the child, who isn't really the guy's child, but he has raised him for all of the time he has been on earth, so he can't be denied the bond he has made with this boy.  This is not a film for everyone because its pacing would test a lot of audience members seeking for more to the story and more action.  But what I found interesting is the three people involved --- you see glimpses of how it could work, but then moments of why it never would again.  And that is so sad to me, because I think if you want things to work, you can make that happen many times.  This movies points out that that isn't always the case.  I'd give it 4 stars out of 5, but I doubt if you will ever get to see it, but you never know --- it may be found on a streaming service some time. Who knows?

Love is ephemeral and relationships complex in this fragmented chronicle of a romance between two young adults in present-day Berlin. When Sophie meets Georg, she’s pregnant and recently abandoned by the child’s father.
