    Though my Telluride dispatch features a new Paolo Sorrentino film and a Claire Foy Lee movie about grief, the major highlight is the tender and heartwarming documentary THE CYCLE OF LOVE. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social

    I don’t think I’ve mentioned them, but I can’t recommend enough the two movies I saw at film festival in Healdsburg this past summer: My Old Ass and The Cycle of Love. Two of my favorite films I’ve seen this year.

    I think you could add “The Cycle of Love” to list-though not yet widely released it is a recent offering though set in past. In many films cycling/transit is associated with not having “made it” yet. Too many depict parents -esp moms- driving kids everywhere . www.rogerebert.com/festivals/te...

    If you like uplifting #films that look gorgeous and involve love and some #cycling (but not as much as I hoped) 😊🚴‍♂️ then Cycle of Love is worth seeking out. Saw it last night with friends and we all enjoyed the story and filming. The Cycle of Love — Dogwoof Releasing share.google/RsGMMMV33qxV...

    I don't take lightly a movie that leaves me weeping with emotion, and THE CYCLE OF LOVE did that to me. A real-life BEFORE SUNRISE scenario mixed with a lovely portrait of learning, despite everything your society tells you, that you are worthy of being loved.
