Sophie von Haselberg

First-time feature director Carol Ray Hartsell, working from a script by Arielle Haller-Silverstone, aims for laughs and hits her mark. The movie veers into silliness at times, but some of the humor works on a deeper level. While it’s not in the same league comedically or romantically as Oscar contender “Past Lives, Love… pulls off the same remarkable achievement of constantly putting a smile on viewers’ faces. Don’t be surprised if you spend most of Love… Reconsidered looking for similarities between the main character and Bette Midler. After all, star Sophie von Haselberg’s major claim to fame – whether she likes it or not – is being Midler’s daughter. And it’s von Haselberg who centers the quirky romantic comedy as Ruby Goldberg.
