I Love You, I Love You Not

Brevitas

In translating Wendy Kesselman's play to the screen, I Love You, I Love You Not becomes limply flat. The filmmakers have apparently forgot the need for logical connections and transitions. As a result, the attempt to cross the themes of a modern story of teenage angst with historical drama is doomed from the start, despite valiant efforts by Claire Danes and Jeanne Moreau to elevate the film above the listless script. I Love You, I Love You Not fails as an injudicious, offensive appropriation of the Holocaust.
