Signed up to IMDb just to write this review. Loved it when I was a teenager when it was released back in 2005 and it remains as one of my favourite films of all time. A pure romance but it's definitely not an easy road to get to the happiness they seek. Low budget British film but that is all the more reason to love it. Would recommend and I can watch it over and over again. I don't want to explain too much of the plot and trying to avoid any spoilers where I can but in a nutshell. Teenage white male from a heavily racist family background meets Naseema - a Muslim- at their Saturday job in a wallpaper shop. He can't hide his feelings as much as he tries. Her family would not agree with this relationship so it's dilemma of what to do to take them forward.

For me love+Hate is one of the best films i've seen in the last five years. It was my best film of 2006.The main reason i love this film is the realism of it. It deals with issues. Mainly the film is about racism, and what it does to people who use it to control their life. The story is about a young girl who goes to work in a DIY shop and meets a young boy who takes an instant dislike to her. Eventually he realises that he loves her and is torn between what his friends and family might think,and his true feelings. There are other stories but i wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone. The film is brilliant in all the key areas. The acting is superb by everyone. The script is just as brilliant. The music is excellent and provides a real essence to the story being told. The direction is very good. Everything is really superb. It will not be a film to everyones taste but it is thought provoking and original in the way only great films are.

Hi, - The way the director portrayed this film was amazing, a must see... also there was gesture one of the characters used which was scratching his ear, tell me if you have ever seen this in any other film? superb, really captures the realness of the issue and plot. There were many moments where i felt the urge to cry and also many moments where i expected something bad to happen but the film stayed good, now i am just writing anything because u heard the minimum is 10 lines so right now i am just gonna keep talking until i have reached the minimum, but please go watch the film it is good. thanks for reading, bye

First and foremost, this is only my 2nd post ever and I've been using this website for well over 2 years now. My point is, something has to stir me up, to write a comment.Well this film has, and more to the point some of the negative posts by others. Firstly, its not a classic. Secondly and more importantly, its nowhere near belonging on the scrap heap either. As the other posts have explained the outline of the plot, I refrain from repeating. What I will say though, is how surprised I was at how good I felt this film was upon its conclusion. I've watched so many films over the years, and have seen nearly all of the films in the top 250 on this website. Like I've said, its not a classic, but the film has a really good effort at offering a powerful and compelling story about issues in modern Britain. Comments made about the standard of the acting, are at the very least harsh, and seem to miss the point. The actors are indeed supposed to be young adults from Blackburn starting life out in the working world. It would be inappropriate to be acted with the grandeur of a Hollywood line-up. They give it a really good go and certain scenes are to a degree shocking and indeed quite moving.No, its not a tear-jerker. It just has a powerful, if not slightly plagiarised plot, leaving you feeling better for indulging in its 86 minutes of worthwhile subject. Its a good British film you should watch with an open mind and an hour and a half of uninterrupted time.
