Love the music soundtrack but not so much the movie..., Dec 3 2007
First off, I want to compliment the music score by Icelandic group MUM. Without a doubt, the music score accompanying this film drew me in more than anything. Without the ethereal and romantically haunting music, I don't think I would have liked this film much. This film is really about selfish sex. Two strangers meet, they are infatuated with each other, and they ultimately get together for one night of fun. Their actions are very selfish, albeit quite realistic and common now a days. One may find the film quite likable if one engages in the same kind of amoral activities oneself, but it's still irresponsible and disrespectful behavior.
Honestly, I like the lead actress (Alexi Gilmore) and I probably would have done the same thing as the lead actor if given the chance, but that does not excuse the actions of both characters. They are being very selfish with their actions.
The music is great however. I so wish there was a CD soundtrack for this movie.

Find Love and Get that amazing feeling., May 18 2007
find love shows the true moment you get when you let love take it's natural course through how you feel. you can't plan it or taste it or touch it until it's right in your face. this film shows how you want every opening of a relationship to be.

FUTURE MOVIES REVIEW, Feb 24 2007
The debut feature from UK writer-director Erica Dunton is a mostly convincing attempt at capturing the strange, fleeting nature of finding love when you least expect it. Two unnamed strangers meet at an airport travelling to Wilmington, North Carolina - the woman (Gilmore) for an interview at a TV station, the man to return home to his pregnant girlfriend - and over the next 24 hours they fall in love. They have a drink in a café, attend a family meal, sleep together and part. And that's pretty much it. As you might have gathered this isn?t a film about plot or exciting events. But unlike, say, Richard Linklater?s exemplary Before Sunrise, Find Love isn't a film where clever, witty dialogue is important either. In fact the scenes here are improvised, a technique that helps lend the movie a veneer of realism present in its characters' smiles, frowns and clumsy exchanges. An essentially two-character movie like this also rests on the strengths of its leads, and luckily a morose Carmargo and an upbeat-yet-insecure Gilmore are excellent in conveying the unfulfilment, disappointment and complications of their daily lives. Craig Sheffer, almost unrecognisable from the days of Nightbreed and A River Runs Through It, also makes a welcome appearance as an unsympathetic TV channel boss whose bitter attack on Gilmore helps push her closer to the complete stranger that appears to instinctively understands her. Ultimately Find Love is a mood piece. And in this respect it succeeds very well, with scenes seeping dreamily into each other and the shimmering use of DV making even the streets of a nondescript American town seem beautiful. Find Love is also helped immeasurably by an atmospheric score by Icelandic band MUM, who give the film an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality - in this movie love seems to exist outside of the confines of the real world. Certainly Find Love is a rather introspective, navel-gazing picture and it doesn't say a lot that hasn't been said before. But in stripping its examination of love down to the very basics Dunton has created an honest and atmospheric movie that, as in the best romantic movies from Brief Encounter to the aforementioned Before Sunrise, doesn?t try to force any kind of neat resolution onto its characters? lives.
