Lover is far from the disaster that people make it out to be. I think it's a mostly well-shot, conceptually interesting film that is brought to life by a lively musical score. I'm especially a fan of this film's first act. I believe Ralph has tremendous potential as a director, although I must admit that he has some major flaws as a writer and actor.

Being a film student myself, I understand where a lot of the problems came from when shooting this. Audio is a bitch, transitions are hard, violence is comical and difficult to take serious. That being said, as a student film there’s a lot of genuinely great stuff here! On the other hand I do have to kinda judge this as a professional big boy film, as I paid to watch it. And that’s where it’s not very good. So with both those being combined, I think this is a fine effort, and points towards a hopeful career in independent filmmaking. 


The best student films are the ones made without a budget and steal all their shots ;) 


That’s what I do, that is why I winked

Feels like I haven't watched a movie in ages since I've been very busy with school and Mr. Robot, but I finally had some time to dedicate to a film. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed this if I didn't know who Ralph was and didn't enjoy his content, but thankfully I do. It's very clearly a student film so the technical aspects aren't great, particularly the sound, but I can forgive most of it due to the budgetary restrictions. The writing was a little lacking as well as the performances, but the music was excellent as well as some very interesting cinematography. Ralph clearly is a very creative and talented mind and with a bigger budget and a lot of time, I can see him pulling off something fantastic, and this is a great starting off point.

Verdict: flawed, but good

everything about this movie sucks, it was a modern remake of taxi driver except with uber, we dont know anything about the main character, the cinematography was so bad that my brain was forced to imagine a better shot, the acting was crap and why the fuck did he kill that hooker? nothing makes any sense in this film and ive lost some respect for Ralph, anyways, you have to get much much better and come up with a better script, i know it was a very low budget film but where the fuck did the money even go?

im sorry Ralph but im really disappointed in you, I do hope you make better films in the near future. Goodluck!

I am incredibly proud of Ralph and everyone involved in the making of Lover. There is definitely some good things in this movie, but there’s also a lot of problems. The soundtrack is great, some of the cinematography is very well done, and I thought the two leads were pretty good. But ultimately it was hard to really enjoy this film. It really couldn’t escape this “student film” feeling, which is disappointing. The sound is an absolute mess I know a lot of people have already touched on this, but there are just way too any scenes where you can barely understand what they are saying because the background noise was so incredibly loud. I also found the script to be really confusing. I had to rewind multiple times because I thought I missed something especially towards the end. I definitely want to revisit it again and I feel Ralph has a lot potential as a film maker. I plan on continuing to support whatever he puts out and I look forward to seeing what he has in store next.
