Heart Failure

About This Movie

Heart Failure is one of those films that captures the rawness of modern relationships with a blend of drama, music, and just enough romance. The pacing is a bit uneven at times—like relationships themselves—but it works in its favor, mirroring the awkwardness and tension that comes with love. Will Wightman's direction feels intimate, drawing you into Frank and Lizzie's world, from their exhilarating first encounter to those painfully relatable moments of silence. The performances are solid; you can feel the emotional weight of their exchanges, the longing, the confusion. It’s not just another love story; it’s a reflection on heartbreak, and the music underscores the mood perfectly, adding layers to the characters’ experiences.
