maybe, a useful film. for the moments of crisis, sadness, lost of hope. a film about the trust. and about the magic of love. and about the joy and hope and the second chance. nothing surprising. nothing unknown. except, maybe, the convincing side. the work, admirable, no doubt, of Morgan Freeman. and the lovely science of detail. short, a film who must see. for the remind of a special state of soul. and for admire. the pure beauty of life.

This film reminds me of why I generally don't like ensemble movies. You have to be able to invest in each of the subplots, or you get bored. Now, once in a while I luck out and stumble into an ensemble film that I can buy into, but not often.Here, I couldn't get interested in all of the subplots. Not that there was anything wrong with any of the stories, but they all just didn't interest me.We start with Bradley (Greg Kinnear) who gets dumped by his lesbian wife and begins a relationship with a real estate agent. Okay, I bought into this subplot.Then there's Oscar and Chloe. He's a formed druggie. They do a porn film to make money. Sorry, just couldn't get into it. Nothing wrong with the story. Just didn't interest me.And then there's Morgan Freeman's mixed marriage with Jane Alexander. I found this part of the film very interesting.But, that means a third of the film didn't interest me.So, my only warning here is to be sure you like ensemble stories.

Based on a novel by Charles Baxter, Robert Benton's "Feast of Love" finds a large cast of characters grappling with issues of love and loss. Presiding over this ensemble is actor Morgan Freeman, whose monologues drip with condescension.At its best, "Feast of Love" portrays love as a biological trick; a messy bit of code adept at getting humans procreating, a functional utility of mate-guarding, gene-spreading and kin-selection. "True love", meanwhile, is something else altogether. Repeatedly in Benton's film, "true loves" come and go, human beings arbitrarily removed and replaced. Each new lover is rationalised as being one's sole "soul mate", until romance fails and, propelled by hope, lonely hearts go out into the world again with fishing rods in tow.Unintentionally cheesy, but unconventionally grim behind its Hollywood glitz, "Feast of Love" stars Greg Kinnear, Radha Mitchell and Selma Blair.5/10 – Worth one viewing. See Todd Solondz's "Happiness".

I happen to watch the movie lately .. and loved it. Yes .. its a bit predictable , but is a very simply put pleasant movie. I would rate it 10 for a DVD rent. Worth spending 2 hours at home , with your loved ones. Morgan Freeman is definitely the high point. Its funny, tense, sad ,complex and is definitely about LOVE. The acting is superb and subtle. Alexa Davalos looks really beautiful in this movie (i had seen her in defiance earlier). I could not much weak links in the entire movie .. yes there are a few nude scenes (slightly explicit) , but they don't stand out since they form an integral part of the story. One of the few movies which i did not want to end.
