In 'Cinema Has Been My True Love,' Mark Cousins crafts a reflective piece that feels more like a personal diary than a traditional documentary. Lynda Myles takes center stage, recounting her unique journey through the film world, especially her groundbreaking role at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The atmosphere is contemplative, with a blend of nostalgia and insight as she shares stories from 1973 to 1980. Cousins' pacing allows Myles' anecdotes to breathe, creating a rhythm that feels inviting. The film doesn’t rely on flashy effects or interviews; it’s all about Myles’ voice and her vibrant spirit. You get a real sense of how she shaped a community, making it distinctive in its focus on personal connection over spectacle.
