Don't be deterred by the gross English title. 'Kaerlighed på film' is a love story, but also a thriller and a story about strange occurrences in ordinary lives. To be honest, I would have preferred had they kept it a love story rather than add a thriller twist to the end, but I think it's still a very good film. It's full of marvellous acting, scenes that have potential to be ridiculous but somehow seem credible, and characters that are real and raw. It mercilessly drives home the message and accepts that lies have consequences, no matter what the underlying motivation. The main character doesn't ask for pity when his lies catch up with him; he offers no excuses, merely his actions. Such maturity I find rare on- and off-screen, but it fits the character and the actor.
