I Love Dries

About This Movie

I Love Dries is a peculiar blend of dark comedy and absurdity that really takes you on a wild ride. The premise is outrageous—a couple, desperate for a child, hatches a plan to kidnap a famous Dutch singer, Dries Roelvink, to fulfill their dreams of parenthood. The film's tone wavers between cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud moments, highlighting the lengths people will go to. The pacing has its bumps, with some scenes dragging a bit, but it all adds to the awkward charm. The performances, especially the couple, are strikingly relatable, even in their absurdity. You'll find practical effects used sparingly, but in a way that enhances the awkward humor. It's this blend of desperation and comedy that makes it stand out in the genre.
