Catching Feelings

The film starts out slowly, with the couple and their friends sipping drinks at a bar. The pace never quite picks up, though we're kept engaged by the variety of locations and characters.

Catching Feelings manages to work due to its cultural specificity, and winds up being an agreeable and entertaining night at the movies.

The sex scenes are daring for local cinema ... and so is the dialogue, which makes you laugh and think, without being preachy.

Viewers looking for a weighty, topical film about a man grappling with racial tension-and a turbulent marriage-will enjoy Catching Feelings.
