Love Tomorrow – review

A drama about the relationship between two Camden dancers is best when it concentrates on their footwork, writes Mark Kermode

Accomplished dancers (rather than screen actors) Cindy Jourdain and Arionel Vargas play star-crossed couple Eva and Oriel, who meet on the streets of Camden, and whose (non) relationship develops in a manner that has something in common with the gentle flow of Before Sunrise.

Despite gesturing toward more serious subject matter (commitment, illness, death, betrayal) this is at its best when treading with light feet. On a couple of occasions the performers break into dance, and I rather wish they had done so more; few of the dialogue scenes match the expressiveness of Vargas's night-time street shuffle, or Jourdain's closing-credit solo.
