The subject matter is fairly universal - the frustration of your beloved not loving you back in the way you want, and the existential loneliness it triggers. Most people would choose to drink, seek casual sex etc... Our director is an artist, and chooses to make a film.

There's definitely interesting bits beyond the titillating set up that involves real sex and sexual tension. All these different people come in, and as the project progresses, we see how different expectations, subtle manipulations, desires and different levels of hypocrisy clashe and dissipate. There's no surprise. We all see what we want to see, and at the end of it is miscommunication and broken connection - existential loneliness, in one word.

Many (including director's mother) seem to find it uncomfortable to see the director dares to turn this process into a work, but I think it's rather common for a young artist to display so much self-consciousness and ambition -the belief he could turn his life into an art-. My criticism lies in that he remains unclear what he wants and where he goes with this project. The only thing clear is his longing and obsession for his lover in Mexico City. When he is so preoccupied with him, it's no surprise that he fails to connect to any of the participants, to the project itself and ultimately to himself.

I hope Isidor reaches certain clarity with more experience, age and deeper contemplation. Then 'Acts of Love' would be viewed as a little remnant of his process, a brain storm of his art and life.

That would be the best title for this semi docu/ semi autobiography film.

Obviously the main character have some daddy issues due to the seperation of his parents (maybe at a young age )and this put more weight on how he bacame obsessed with his old lover.

Its better if he invited a psychoanalyst in this film so it will be more helpful to the audience especially to those people who are confused and depressed and having the same situation like him.

If you will pause your smart TV and use the pause/step up button (1/8 th speed),you will see all the exchange pictures and video still between him and his lover.some photos have the faces blurred maybe to avoid legal issues and some are his nude photos complete with ejaculation, ass shots and hardon pics.

I mean is it neccessary to include these exlpicit photosi n the film.

Its showing his pervert side and will go so low just to get the love he is yearning from the old lover which most of the times was givem back in return.

Its not so good movie.depressing and i feel sad for the other volunteers on how they are being exploited by a person with dark cloudy mindset.

Its really better if an expert was included to teach the people with same situation how to cope up and how to deal when earlry signs of gerontophilia is starting to manifest on the young kids.

Its only my opinion im sure you have your own say about this so at least you have heard my side.

I don't normally write reviews because I'm not very good at writing but I noticed the other reviews here and just wanted to say my part. I'm a straight woman and I loved this movie. I feel different having seen it, like it opened up my eyes to ways I've loved and been loved in the past. I saw echoes of my past boyfriends, I saw myself in it, I learned things, I felt uncomfortable, and I felt loved. So much about the movie was unusual and surprising but it always paid off and made me want to keep watching. It's probably not for everybody - it's weird and unlike anything I've ever seen - but it definitely was for me. And it might be for you, too.
