We’ve been tracking the locally filmed Love Stalker movie for over a year now after we interviewed the two writer/directors Matt Glasson (who also stars in the movie) and Bowls MacLean, and while they’ve been doing the festival circuit, we finally got a chance to check out the whole film.
First off, it’s wonderfully shot (in our amateur opinion) and there’s some decent boob (in our professional opinion), so if you’re in to cinematography and/or boobs, there you go. However there’s quite a bit more here. The initial draw to a St. Louis-focused site such is this was that it featured a barrage of various local hangouts (The Silver Ballroom, City Museum, Sandrina’s, The Upstairs Lounge…) , but we found ourselves caring about that less and less as the movie went on. St. Louis connection aside, it’s just a great flick about people’s skewed ways of dealing with love after watching too many romantic comedies.
