THE ART OF LOVE review by Christine Riney
Eva ( Alexandra Gilbreath ), a worker for the London Tube , has a side hustle : unbeknownst to her husband ( Jeremy Swift ), she is a reviewer of sex toys . And not just any reviewer , but the winner of the most “ Outstanding Job ” award at her company ’ s conference . Adam ( Oliver Walker ), a rather self-obsessed influencer , tester , and general all-round sex toy fanatic , is also given a top award at the company conference . This odd couple , the straitlaced , middle-aged woman trying to save her marriage and a man who is so self-involved that he has even had his own appendage made into a top-selling toy , soon become the “ love team ” commissioned to test a new AI sex toy and help it to understand feelings .

PRINCIPAL ACTORS : ALEXANDRA GILBREATH , JEREMY SWIFT , OLIVER WALKER
As the movie progresses , we realize that , although very different , Eva and Adam are both lonely and longing for connection ; with each other they find a new meaning to life and love .
This story is a sad commentary on the world we live in today , where the lines are blurred between what is real and what is altered reality . A world where the human touch is taken for granted or indeed overlooked completely or , as in this case , removed completely . This movie has a tagline saying “ inspired by a true story .” Perhaps it predicts a future event in which AI can provide us with love . Let ’ s hope ! 106 minutes .
