    EXT. WHY CAME LOVE - DAY Along Came Love, is it about the relationship between Madeleine and François, or is it? I'm not sure because this film goes in so many directions. I get it, ~Love~ has no boundaries, but storytelling sometimes should; a more focused story would have helped because the film tries to go down that 'shocking' route, leading to a lacklustre conclusion. **FADE OUT.**

    _Along Came Love_ is a frank, handsomely acted melodrama about two people tethered to secrets they barely admit, even to themselves. Shame, guilt, and misplaced desire simmer beneath a marriage built on real affection but weighed down by repression. It’s emotionally direct and far more explicit than its 15 rating lets on. I regret watching the trailer—it spoiled too much—but even so, I stayed engaged and was, at times, genuinely moved.
