Total Romance

About This Movie

Total Romance is a curious blend of drama and romance that dives deep into the glitzy yet treacherous life of Martina and Andy, both masters of emotional manipulation. The pacing has an almost languid feel at times, allowing the audience to soak in the glamorous but toxic atmosphere they inhabit. There’s a certain thrill in watching their games of heartlessness, and the performances are quite compelling—especially how Martina grapples with jealousy when her lover chooses the naive Angie. It’s not just about romance; it’s a commentary on the emptiness of superficial relationships. The practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, highlighting the emotional stakes rather than relying on flashy visuals. The film has a distinct vibe, one that speaks to the darker side of love and ambition.
