When Love Comes
aka When Love Comes Along
First screened in August 2020
Director: Garth Maxwell. Cast: Rena Owen, Simon Prast, Dean O'Garman, Nancy Brunning, Sophia Hawthorne, Simon Westaway. Screenplay: Garth Maxwell, Rex Pilgrim, and Peter Wells.

Twitter Capsule: A late-90s love knot where sexual fluidity only increases the possible tangles. Sweet entry in mediocre tradition.

VOR:   Nice to see Owen cast in an atypical role. Both script and direction strain against some built-in limitations. Rent it! Just don't expect to recall it.
