Do they love or hate ‘Lovers of Hate’?
Some early reviews of Austinite Bryan Poyser’s “Lovers of Hate,” world-premiering at Sundance, aren’t especially upbeat. (We haven’t seen the film ourselves.) A sampling so far:
But Poyser’s having a blast. Here’s his personal response, via his blog, to the debut screening:
“The movie played awesome! There were big laughs in spots where we had never heard them before and big gasps in the parts where there were supposed to be gasps. Hearing 600 people react at the same time to a little moment or glance that you pored over and finessed on your little home computer for 8 months — that’s pretty damn priceless. … The Q & A was a little awkward, but I think we’re all just finding our legs with that. Got 4 more opportunities to get it tight.”

Relax, Chris, the movie is good, it’s great actually. I predict you’ll love it. I saw it in a room full of women in one of the test screenings and everyone raved about it. It’s all Bryan and it’s all good. Very true to himself and well shot and performed. The guy at the Huffington post is too busy and too full of himself to appreciate subtlety, a fact that is rampant in our society. The ability to appreciate subtle art comes back when you stop watching TV and talking on the phone so much and get over yourself. The good reviews are out there… just find them!
