When Alice sets out to post one synonym for love every week for a year, she inadvertently sends a gentle ripple through her social network and discovers more about relationships than she imagined. Combining doc interviews with narrative drama, 52 Words for Love offers a humorous meditation on what it means to grapple with the vagaries of intimacy.

“..as there so many different facets of Love displayed u0026amp; discussed (especially in the truely spontaneously spoken real-life documetary interviews) that there will be many aspects u0026amp; concepts of thought to discover u0026amp; re-think on the second watch. It has a positive, lovable ending, so donu0026#39;t fret to chose it for a cosy N3tflix night with someone new you donu0026#39;t know so well (but want to)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo spoilers ahead, only some thoughts:nOne little (or big) thing I thought is a shame to not mention at all is the concept of Polyamory; all characters incl the married female couple are more or less deep engrained in the socially accepted dogma of serial-monogamy, struggling with jealousy u0026amp; exclusive love, but are not even contemplating Poly ideas which are widely discussed u0026amp; lived since many years. On the other hand thatu0026#39;s ok and quite normal to not touch that hot iron, as these concepts are still commonly unaccepted, and this great film planted enough positive food for loving thought in the viewers minds that there is no need to make it far more complicated with such topics.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all great actors, great concept u0026amp; idea to mix documentary in. Lovly to watch!”
