    • Trivia
      "I'm not one to take my clothes off in a movie," MacDowell recently told The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that she shot her first nude scene for 2017's Love After Love at age 59. "Not that I'm a prude or anything, but I think I grew up in a time where most actresses would get body doubles." "After all of that worrying about taking my clothes off, it didn't even affect me in the least, seeing myself naked. What affected me more was to see how sad I looked. The only reason I could do that is because I know that sadness. That to me made me feel more vulnerable than being naked. It had no effect on me, being naked, which is fascinating." She admitted to I News in another interview that "I wish I had walked around naked in movies earlier. I probably should have taken [it all] off in my twenties. I grew up in a conservative family and, in my generation, most actresses hired body doubles for those scenes. But I had an awakening as to what the human body is, and I didn't want my kids (she has two daughters in their 20s who are actresses) in their acting, to feel any shame about their bodies. I want them to feel safe [doing nude scenes] because I had so much shame projected on to me about nudity as a child. It took me raising my children to finally feel more comfortable about my body."

    An Interesting Mish-Mash
    I have seen enough films at this point to know while watching it that this was one of the first films Russell Harbaugh directed. I knew this because first, there were several instances in which scenes interrupted other scenes without rhyme or reason. This implies that several scenes were, in my opinion, cut short. There were also times when the camera lingered too long on a subject, e.g., Andie McDowell. Related to this was the omission of what probably should have been included, specifically, the consequences of every time Chris O'Dowd's character, Nicholas, cheated on his then lover. In both cases, he just moved along, and whatever consequence there was, was minimal, and the film just progressed to his next involvement.

    Then, there is the story line. I kept seeing an elephant in the room that no one was talking about and that was the Oedipal thing going on between Andie M. and Chris O'Dowd, as mother and son. Perhaps another film will grow out of this subject that was glaringly there and ignored. It almost felt as if the writer/director couldn't decide what should be the main story line, the emotional aftermath of the death of a family's husband/father, or the Oedipal relationship between the mother and son of that family which was highlighted once the father died.

    Overall, as someone who can never watch too many "relationship movies", I am glad I saw Love After Love and look forward to Harbaugh's next.
