Lili Bordán, David Guy Levy, Iván Kamarás, Jonathan Beckerman

A Love Affair of Sorts is an intimate drama about a boy, a girl, and a camera. David Guy (David Guy Levy, who is also the director) and Enci (Lili Bordán) play a couple who meet in a bookstore, where ... read more read more...he catches her in the midst of shoplifting, and she sees him in the midst of furtively filming her with his flip camera. Through the course of that day and evening, they start a tentative relationship, with his omnipresent camera serving as both bridge and barrier to their connection. Things are further complicated with the inclusion of Enci's boyfriend Boris (Iván Kamarás), and David's brutally honest friend Jonathan (Jonathan Beckerman, playing himself, and unaware until the end of the film that it was fictional). Only later do we discover that neither they - nor the film we have been watching - are what they appear to be. -- (C) Official Site

"A Love Affair of Sorts" answers the question of whether you can make a feature film with a Flip camera and leaves open the question of whether you can make a good one. Full Review

Epic navel-gazing and interminably low-stakes visual artistry. Full Review

You show me your camera, and I'll show you mine. That sums up the low-budget indie "A Love Affair of Sorts." Full Review

Endlessly fascinated by the idea that some people are endlessly fascinated with themselves? David Guy Levy has made a movie perfectly suited to you. Full Review

Dull diary-film shoots for life/art profundity but misses by miles. Full Review

Tedious enough to serve as a cautionary example of the pitfalls of DYI filmmaking. Full Review

An occasionally intriguing navel-gazing misfire, but its unverifiable claim to be the first feature film shot entirely on flip cameras eventually comes across as nothing more than an excuse for stylis... Full Review

An amateurish and tedious romantic drama about two irritating people and two flip cameras. Full Review

Alison Willmore, AV Club

A physically taxing movie, jiggling and off-center and filled with dizzying whip pans. Full Review
