LOVE UPSTREAM

Cinemavixion Review

In "Love Upstream," director Bill Corcoran crafts a charming romantic comedy that playfully pits a sophisticated city author against the rugged wilderness and an even more rugged outdoorsman. Kimberly-Sue Murray stars as Charlotte, a writer whose career takes an unexpected detour into survival guides after a public breakup. Her journey to a remote Minnesota town to research her new book leads her to Rob (Steve Lund), a no-nonsense guide who initially clashes with Charlotte's urban sensibilities. Their dynamic, fueled by mutual challenge and discovery, forms the heart of the film. As Rob pushes Charlotte out of her comfort zone amidst stunning natural landscapes, an unlikely romance begins to blossom. While the premise might seem familiar, the film succeeds through its engaging performances and the palpable chemistry between its leads. "Love Upstream" is a delightful exploration of finding oneself by embracing the unexpected, proving that sometimes, getting a little lost is the best way to find your way to love. The film was released in 2021 and has garnered a respectable 6.2 rating on IMDb, with a runtime of 89 minutes.
