But things aren’t always as they seem.

“Josh and Rachel are living their not so happy suburban lives when Joshu0026#39;s old buddy Bucky storms into their imperfect world, turning it all upside down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first feature from Sahm McGlynn is a character driven story about impending life change that everyone needs once in a while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLOVE FLOWER has a feel of an independent play of a small New York or London theatre one can stumble on by chance. It will be popular with the indie movie crowd and can be a darling of the indie festivals.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s solid direction here and some good performances. A slice of life drama that is hard to get going, but eventually sucks you in and you stay for the weird characters and the plot that is hard to identify. The dynamics of Joshua (Ben Lynch) and Bucky (Sahm McGlynn, the director himself) are fun to watch, as best buddies they have a real chemistry onscreen, and Anna Irving as the yoga guru and Joshuau0026#39;s girlfriend Rachel does more with her role than the script allowed. She definitely has what it takes to make it big if the stars align.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s a lot to admire in this first time feature film – the performances, the subtle humour and most importantly thereu0026#39;s something that makes the characters relatable and their relationships true.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe director should be proud of LOVE FLOWER as at the end of the day thereu0026#39;s something to discuss, something to laugh about and something to be sad about.”
