Goodbye Lover (1998)
7/10
Hello new Lover
25 March 2021
A Goodbye can also be a Hello - not necessarily for the same person - actually quite likely not for the same person. But a Hello nonetheless. And while this dark humor filled thriller might entice and surprise you (I was, especially after the first big inciting incident, not having read anything about this) - it might run out of air after a while. I would beg to differ overall, but I can see that especially after that big shock (which some might already be aware of anyway, having read upon the movie) there seems to be a bit of downfall. And as much as I fell in love with certain characters, the ending seems a bit ... too easy. All that aside, the actors do a phenomenal job and the movie keeps the tension high throughout. And since it does have a tendancy to show you what might happen (or what some characters think should happen next), it keeps you on your toes to find out, if its true or just in the mind of the character. Very well done thriller, with a lot of "foreplay" and other erotic sidenotes, that you'll either fall for or you won't.
