This week on International Feature, we took a trip back to one of the most talked-about holiday rom-coms of all time: Love Actually. Often held up as a seasonal classic, the film has remained a staple of Christmas viewing for years — but for us, revisiting it raised a lot more questions than warm fuzzy feelings. We dug into why the movie’s reputation doesn’t match our experience, and how some of its most celebrated moments have aged… poorly.

It became a major awards-season standout, winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes and sparking wide conversation for its unconventional approach to truth, perspective, and performance. Rather than leaning on flashy courtroom theatrics, the film builds tension through ambiguity, character study, and meticulous visual choices.
