This Little Love of Mine is an extremely gentle romantic drama. In fact, it's so gentle that, if you're not careful, it may just lull you right to sleep.

On paper, this should be a sweeping romance spanning several decades that shows the power of true love to endure even the harshest tests of time but, in practice, it’s a disjointed jumble of undeveloped lukewarm … Continue reading Review: Aside From Being Clunky, THE LAST LETTER FROM YOUR LOVER Should Be Fined For Gross Underuse of an Actor
