When Cupid Is a Prying Journalist

This so engaging, beguiling, superbly and intelligently written, and artfully acted. For romantics who dream.

I've never gone straight to IMDB to write a review before, but I just finished the second episode of Modern Love and felt compelled to write this. The storytelling of two couples' relationships was beautifully done. The characters in Catherine Keener and Andy Garcia's story is just heartbreakingly breathtaking yet tastefully done (unlike most impulsive Hollywood stories these days). You have to watch this episode. I'm a sucker for a great love story, and this is the best one I've seen on screen in years.

I used to feel Hollywood has stopped making emotional love stories.. Imagine my surprise when this one ep conveyed emotions many movies don't.. John Carney has made a couple of my fave movies(even Begin Again!) and his filmmaking style and this story are a match made in heaven All the actors did justice to their roles No spoilers but I haven't been this happy at an ending for quite some time Hope is a rare commodity these days and this story gives you a lot of it..

I'm not into movies. I prefer series. But if these two stories would be movies, I would have watched them. Wrong timing. Lessons that HAD to be learnt. Great performances by all 4 actors. I haven't watch Patel in anything else and I really loved him. And Andy Garcia! Gosh, this man is treasure.

The cheese and corn aside, every ingredient put together to cook up this episode somehow align to form the spectrum of my interpretation of the blasted word. The whole nine yards.

There's this effortless depth in its telling that hasn't been put on film in quite some time...let alone in rom-coms. Almost perfect casting too.
