Helga Guren and Oddgeir Thune in Loveable Movie
The Big Picture Female rage. Who doesn’t love it? After decades of women being sidelined and forced into submissive roles, movies that allow the girls to scream until they lose their voice and embark on vengeful rampages just never get old. These types of tales are usually seen in the horror genre, with many a final girl fighting back against her tormentor and avenging her friends and family.
'Loveable' Is Similar to 'Marriage Story' on the Surface About a quarter of the way through Loveable, you realize that the similarities to Marriage Story end when the movie shifts focus from the breakdown of a marriage to Maria’s self-discovery. Sigmund ignores her calls and texts, and she paces the lonely flat a friend has lent her. She tries to visit Alma at school but she is aggressively rebuffed and told she is an embarrassment.
'Loveable' Explores Self-Love and Acceptance In many Hollywood productions, a story like this would end happily with the couple getting back together. But by the end of the movie, you care less about Maria and Sigmund resolving their issues and more about Maria solving her own problems. What Loveable so astutely understands about mental health and relationships is the importance of professional help.
Helga Guren Gives the Performance of a Lifetime in 'Loveable' This is a career-defining performance for Helga Guren. Maria goes on a journey that brings her to numerous destinations, from rage to despair to desperation to depression, and Guren captures every last feeling with nuance. She never makes Maria into one thing to make it easier for the audience to understand her.
