Review of A Love To Keep

Honest and say this one did not grab me

A story about forbidden love in a community that still believes, in some quarters, that being a lesbian is a mental illness should be good fodder for a great love story

But unfortunately, the story just does not connect. You know what they are trying to convey but just don't feel it

Perhaps it is because this movie is in Spanish and was reviewed via subtitles

The lead actresses though gave it a good go

It is quite apparent that this was made for TV

Whoever cut the trailer managed to deliver more than the actual movie gave
