The cold war is over but this downer of a film may bring it back. A divorcing Russian couple with a twelve year-old boy battle right from the start. They both have new significant others and are shown in a few unnecessary sex scenes, including one with a woman in the latter stages of pregnancy. I didn't need that. Meanwhile, the boy vanishes and the uncaring mom and dad go about their lives as if it doesn't really matter to them. Some volunteers help to look for the kid, and by the end I just wanted the parents to disappear. Loveless is nominated for Best Foreign Film at this years Oscars and I would be surprised if it wins.
