Sick Amour: A Love Story

About This Movie

Sick Amour: A Love Story is this odd, tender documentary that feels like a meditation on loneliness and connection. Joel Tauber’s 18-year journey with a tree in a parking lot offers a unique lens into the human experience. The pacing is quite reflective, almost meandering at times, which matches the subject matter. Interviews with various experts add depth, touching on themes of attachment, nature, and the absurdity of love. The atmosphere is both melancholic and hopeful, drawing you into Tauber's world. There's a rawness here that you don’t see in standard documentaries, a real ache for understanding. It’s not just about a tree; it’s about the ties we form, however unconventional they may be.
