 published: 2010-01-30Sundance Review: Lovers Of Hate The slapstick and closing-doors farce elements of Lovers of Hate make it ripe for a mainstream Hollywood remake, which would inevitably iron out all the film's nuances, but might also inspire more people to track down this tiny and clever movie filed under: sundance 2010
