The Truth About Love (3 Stars)


This British film is a highly unusual love story with an unexpected outcome. Sam and Alice are happily married. Sort of. They're both content with their life, but the magic has gone. Sam's best friend, Archie, is secretly in love with Alice. While drunk Archie sends Alice an anonymous Valentine's card, which she assumes is from Sam. She sends him a card back, also anonymous, which he hides from her, making her suspect he's being unfaithful. This leads to a series of intrigues. Alice sends her husband text messages, pretending to be another woman. Sam actually has a secret lover, a foreigner called Branka, who becomes jealous of his new lover and sets out to expose her. Is the film a comedy or a tragedy? You decide!
