Light and enjoyable, if also a tad light on substance

I really have to hand it to Alison Brie. She gives off an earnest charm that pairs nicely with the offbeat tone of the indie features she regularly participates in, whether comedy, drama, or otherwise. 'No stranger than love,' it must be said, is nothing if not offbeat. There's a clean, pleasant sensibility about the production - the sets, the wardrobe, Nick Wernham's direction, Michael LeBlanc's cinematography, and more - that dovetails neatly with the airs Brie gives off, and the lightness of the humor in Steve Adams' screenplay. Sure, it's a romantic comedy of a sort, but there's hardly any questioning that this is a decidedly quirky one.

Ninety minutes pass by surprisingly quickly as the picture delicately touches upon notions of appearance, perception, or expectations versus reality (what looks or sounds good belying something more shady or unwelcome, or vice versa; knowledge versus ignorance), and finding truth somewhere in the middle. Light on its feet, lighthearted - and arguably a little light in terms of content, too, discernible not least in those ways in which the writing is peculiarly direct. Yet even at that there's subtle, somewhat underhanded wit and intelligence in the dialogue and scene writing that makes this feel at once both a pure embodiment of indie conceptualizations of film, and in some measure perhaps a satire of it. That duality is borne in no small part from the sheer, utmost oddness that characterizes the entirety of the plot, so left-field that it's honestly very hard to meaningfully describe. There's a lot going on here, not in the narrative, but in what the narrative represents.

'No stranger than love' tries to say something a little more profound about, well, love, and I'm not sure how well it succeeds; as I've seen in other features, the message gets muddled in the effort to be idiosyncratic. Short of that, however, it's fun and softly enchanting all the while. It's well made, and written, and acted; the cast is obviously having a good time. It's rather beautifully shot, for that matter. Even compared to some of the other titles Brie has been involved with (or other cast members, of course), I don't know if this is quite as strong or essentail - but it's enjoyable, and a nice diversion for ninety minutes. Does it need to be anything else? Other folks will probably get more out of this than I did, but one way or another I do think it's worth checking out, especially for fans of those involved. Best recommended if you're looking for something relatively uncomplicated that you don't need to be actively invested in.

Starts out comedic then transforms into satire - take a chance

It's a pity the hole has no closure. This story is a bit quirky, moves to being satirical but in the end is quite simply sweet. Well cast, reasonably delivered and fun to watch. Worth taking a chance on.
