About This Movie

This Is Love (2009) has a gritty realism that pulls you right into its dual settings of Vietnam and Germany. The story revolves around Chris, a guy with a deep sense of justice, who teams up with Holger to rescue Jenjira, a young girl trapped in a dark world of trafficking. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to feel the weight of their journey, and the tension builds slowly but surely as they evade the mafia. Performances are raw and heartfelt, especially the young actress portraying Jenjira, who brings innocence amidst chaos. It’s not just about action or escape; it dives into themes of sacrifice and moral complexity, making it a unique entry in the drama genre. It’s a tough watch but very compelling.

Gritty exploration of human trafficking.Strong performances, particularly from the child actress.Deliberate pacing adds to the tension.
