WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Nikki (Bening) is left devastated after her husband Garret (Harris) dies in an accident, and cannot seem to move on from her emotional trauma. One day, she meets a man who looks eerily similar to Garret, named Tom (also Harris), and forms a romantic connection with him while overlooking her possible psychological boundaries…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Face of Love is a heart-breaking (and just a little creepy) psychological romantic drama with strong performances from its cast, including a supporting role by the late Robin Williams.
