Love, Etc. is a new documentary that follows five couples for one year in New York City: old, young, gay, straight, falling in love, getting married, having babies, breaking up. The film showed the complexities of romantic love–not just the happy stuff of Disney movies. I watched it this week and adored it. It was funny, heartbreaking and beautiful. Here’s the trailer…
What do you think, my darlings? Would you want to see it?
Update: I saw it and loved it.
Thank you for your article, quite useful data.
In my view every person ought to look at it.
Hey Jo!
My new husband and I caught Love Etc. in LA on Saturday night and really enjoyed it! The director and producer had a Q&A and shared some inside secrets- mainly that they hoped it would end like a Disney tale with rainbows, laughs, and eternal love and were surprised with the actual end result. It was beautiful and we went thanks to your post! We were once again reminded that the world is so very small and connected- thank you for your great work, Jo!
Looks very promising!
I would love to see this!
LOVE!!! i’m a hopeless romantic, and just this trailer made me tear up. looks great!!

Pearls could be the earliest identified jewely, and for ages have been considered by far the most precious Pearl Jewelry Set. So incredibly valued are Freshwater Pearl Necklace, that the Roman commanding officer Vitellius allegedly paid for a total army campaign by using just one of his mother’s Freshwater Pearl Pendant. Pearls seem to have been worn as a personal decoration for generations. Freshwater Pearl Ring signify chastity, chasteness and ethics. They have for many years been considered ideally suited wedding day presents because clay beads represent chastity and chasteness. Customarily it’s a near requirement for brides. Whether it is a tiara for the bride or accessories for the bridesmaids， Acrylic beads are beautiful, light weight, and very affordable. Also known as lucite beads. Fashion and fabulous Lampwork beads have nothing to do with actual lamps as we know them today. In the western world, Sterling Silver Pearl Jewelry are the preferred gift for lovers remembering their third and thirtieth wedding anniversaries. wholesale jewelry supplies, jewelry beads from online store for jewelry making is popular now.
Great share! This is now on my “to watch” list :)
I think I interviewed to be cast in this! I guess they didn’t want us, looks good though.
i could watch a documentary of just the old couple. how precious.
I would love to see this! As of now it is not playing in Minneapolis – maybe that means I should take a trip to NYC for a fun long weekend and enjoy the film while I’m at it!
Much love,
B
I really really (REALLY) hope I get to see this where I live!
oh man, i just sobbed while watching this. definitely a must-see. thanks for sharing.
WOW, It gave me goose pimples just to watch the trailer, I wish I could watch the whole documentary.
I wish I was watching this RIGHT NOW! But my husband’s out with the boys and I’m stuck home with the sleeping baby. Boo.
i hope this hits dc soon! it makes me think of when harry met sally. your ten best documentaries is one of my fave posts. if you have netflix, pressure cooker is a great documentary that’s up there now…art and copy, too.
ahhhh i need to watch this!
this looks amazing! i would love to see it :) speaking of doccumentaries.. joanna, did you see ‘forks over knives’? very interesting!
Looks amazing. Have to see it. Crying already.
This looks great! Can’t wait
Yes and know. Looks cute but heartvrending… I like the song at the end.
I’ve seen a screener of this docco -it’s definitely worth a watch! it’s very heartwarming and quite an honest insight into the participants emotions
This movie came to a film festival in Montana last fall I can personally vouch that it is excellent!! My only complaint is that you are left wanting more when its over!
looks like seeing it isn’t an option in Denver! sad day. real ove is fascinating….real (true) love and real (realistic) love …both. :-)
I really wish I could see it. Shame Seattle isn’t on the list of viewings :(
WOW! I can’t wait to see this!
I totally teared up when the older man says he’s been married 48 years, but it feels like 48 minutes, 48 seconds. shucks, who *doesn’t* want to grow up to be one of those couples? =)
I must see this! I love it just from the trailer.
I would love this. totally gotta see it.
jesus! that looks amazing!
must see list..
ps, I think I get all my ‘must see’ movies from you! keep it up!
Looks wonderful! I absolutely cannot wait to see it! Thanks for sharing…
Would love to see it! I wonder if there is any chance it would make it’s way to little Columbus, Ohio. I may just have to wait until is comes out on DVD otherwise.
Definitely want to see this. It looks heartbreaking and beautiful.
that looks so.good. hopefully it’ll come to my city!
Aww, thanks so much for sharing this. I’m such a sap and love things like this!
oh my gosh, that look soooo good! i’ll have to keep an eye out for it!

Not a great review, unfortunately!
Aah, those real life transition times, seem so devastating and fascinating, both. And, the waiting for the unfold, keeps on hold.
Wild and wondrous, really.
Cheers!
cute, I would see this! Sort of when harry met sally inspired with the couple interviews…
I hope this comes out in the UK! I love documentaries like this – where you follow different people with a common theme like ‘Babies’. I can tell that every scene with that old couple is going to make me tear up!
Can’t wait for it to come to the west coast. Seems like we could all learn from the older couple. :)
ok i cried just watching this preview…
Oh no, I don’t have the cable:-s. I hope they will show it on Hulu, or even Netflix later! That looks like an awesome show.
Oh, I’ve never heard of it but now I can’t wait to see it!
wow, thank you so much for sharing this, looking at show times at Sunshine now!
Looks awesome! Definitely want to see it. Sadly, it’ll probably be ten years before it comes to Portland!
just shared this on fb–looks wonderful! (and it’s coming to LA next week:)
craftysunday, that sounds great!!
kate, i know!!! so, so sweet. and hopefully it will come to other cities soon; i think they’re trying to grow the buzz and then expand. and then it will come to netflix/amazon soon, fingers crossed!
Ooh, I love documentaries, and Love Etc. looks particularly good! It reminds me a bit of a documentary a friend of mine put out a few years ago, although it followed folks in Chicago that were on the dating scene…it’s called Breakup Date (it’s a little…darker?!)
Cheers,
mindi

Seeing little old people in love just kills me. 4 8 years…48 minutes…48 seconds. ahh, melts my heart! Who wouldn’t want love like that?
It looks charming and heartbreaking all at one. But, i suppose that’s what love is essentially… charming and heartbreaking all at once.
