Who it could be said is the closest living embodiment of Emma's character.But conspiracies and hidden meanings aside this truly is a tour de force in the modern take of a Shakespearean love story on a titanic scale. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Ambitous and truly wonderful cinema *by C***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2010* This is a truly wonderful piece of cinema. It is an ambitious film which draws its characters' emotions in bold strokes , and makes use of a wider range of cinematic techniques to reflect them. Some criticise it for this saying that the end result does not work, but I find its energy and courage utterly engaging.Emma Recchi is a woman whose elegant life is lived in emotional limbo - the film charts her emotional reawakening. Tilda Swinton's portrayal of her is complex and surprising. She is not set up as a victim waiting to be saved, but a woman who has been unintentionally hemmed in by her choices. She is supported by a fine cast.I disagree fundamentally with the other review who said here that the film should have ended with the hospital scene - it is only beyond this scene that the theme of the film is truly realised, we break away from melodrama and the completion of Emma's emotional journey is seen. Despite the fact that combination of editing and score of the closing scenes is breathtaking and makes it a joy to watch. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars All in the Mind *by L***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2011* Is it me or what? I ask myself this often about many movies coming out of Europe. My suspicion is that, were these scripts subjected to the underrated rigour of good Hollywood producers and directors, they would never get made. 'I Am Love' seems to me one of these.Though predictable, it has some good scenes. The odd intrusive passages of fast edits suggest problem-solving on the Avid after the event, repairs done on sequences that did not work off the page. The performances are for the most part restrained, avoiding melodrama, which is a rare blessing from a director who wants to pay homage to Visconti.Judging from the (bonus) interviews given by the director and his star Tilda Swinton, extensive research and endless discussion took place in the years before the movie was made. The risk here is that too much is assumed to be on the page, especially the silly heavy political analogies intended.In the end the movie's patina of rigour seems to me to hide the delivery failures; perhaps they were mere ideas that could never be communicated.The script should have been sent to Polanski in Paris: he would have given sound advice. Or Fed-Ex'd to Rob Reiner, whose working practice of putting 'thumb pressure' on every scene until it either does its job or gets rewritten or rejected, would have helped concentrate Tilda's and her director's minds.Not an awful movie, but could have been so much better.By the by: I find that the more bellezza a film has - and 'I Am Love' oozes it - the less it can conceal its structural weaknesses. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64888904-i-am-love-dvd-2009](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64888904-i-am-love-dvd-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
