What to watch: Love Bites
A film about trying to navigate a relationship breakup.
Written and directed by Lameo Flores, Love Bites gives us an examination of a relationship breakup and how our formative experiences shape the way that we experience emotional intimacy.
The story revolves around Liam (Lyad Smain) and Anatole (Roman Freud). When their relationship ends, Liam can't accept the breakup. With Anatole not responding to any of his messages, Liam follows him to a college Halloween party to try and figure out where it all went wrong and tell Anatole how he really feels.
As Liam navigates the Halloween party, a series of flashbacks show us how the couple met, the issues that they've tried to navigate, and the trauma that gives some context to the young men that they're becoming.
Flores treats his characters with affection and empathy, and Love Bites is a watchable film that reminds us that there's nothing straightforward about falling in or out of love.
Love Bites is distributed by TLA Releasing
