Love the Sinner

About This Movie

So, 'Love the Sinner' is an interesting blend of comedy and a coming-of-age story. You’ve got this 11-year-old girl, Joanna, trying to wrap her head around grief and loss, all through the lens of how her mother reacts to Princess Diana’s tragic death. It’s quirky and oddly reflective, using that national moment of mourning to explore personal emotions. The pacing has this offbeat rhythm that suits the subject matter—sometimes slow, sometimes a bit jarring, but it all feels intentional. The performances are sincere, especially from the young lead. It’s distinctive in its approach to such a heavy topic without losing that comedic thread. It’s not your typical narrative, which I think is pretty cool.
