I only came to this movie as I recently became a fan of Haley Bennett through other movies, particularly the re-make of The Magnificent Seven and Hillbilly Elergy.
I found it to be something of an improvised drama/documentary of three people who could certainly really exist.
Idris, (Sam Riley) appears to live in this hotel by the sea, with Marisa Abela, his girlfriend when out of the blue, his ex wife (Haley Bennett) turns up to stay. He has not seen her for ten years and the scene unfolds in an uncomfortable way for Abela, who quietly gets the hump over their previous relationship taking off again, as I'm sure probably happens to people.
I found the chemistry between Sam and Haley really fascinating and Marisa responding, very real. Very improvisational for the most part, it shows what good actors can do with a flimsy script. Kept me watching.
Plot summary
When Patricia arrives at a country hotel in Cornwall, she encounters her ex husband Idris, who manages the place with his girlfriend Louise. Things are immediately awkward and the former couple reconnect over a long, messy night where they revisit the past while remaining open to new beginnings.

A slice of some people's lives.
Slow-burn unexpected love story
"She Is Love" offers an intimate look into the meeting of two people, who have been estranged for over a decade, eventhough deep down they still care for each other. The plot evolves slowly, but stadily as we dive more and more into the relationship between Idris and Patricia. This film is a nice depiction of how poeple can change and evolve over time and simultaneously stay the same with the same needs and dreams. To some this film could seem flat or a bit draggy, but I think that that way it is more realistic and more believable. Also Sam Riley and Haley Bennet have great chemistry and their performance together is amazing.
so relatable a painful deja vu
Instantly charmed with each of the characters, found myself searching for something to make me like one over the other and I couldn't. This is the dream our hearts long for when we long for a chance to explain and forgive. The actors are stunning. Each of them dives deep into the scenario taking us on a roller coaster of emotions. Love is definitely the rose breaking through the spring ground after a long winter. I appreciate the scenery, the physical appearance of actors, and the script. Sometimes delivery of the script is to scripted. Here the chemistry between actors and their exceptional delivery makes for a very realistic experience.
