Xiaoxian’s life is right on track. She has a steady job at an upscale wedding planning company, a cute apartment, and most importantly, a loving boyfriend of 7 years. Any day now, Xiaoxian is sure that he’ll pop the question. But everything comes crashing down when she discovers that he’s actually cheating on her— with her best friend. How could things go so wrong? Dumped and heartbroken, Xiaoxian is a total mess. It doesn’t help that she has to face perky brides every day. Things go from bad to worse until her sassy, but jaded, co-worker Jian intervenes. It’s not that Jian really cares. It’s more that he’s sick of witnessing her pathetic decline. Xiaoxian seriously needs to get a grip. 33 days into her breakup, Jian’s brand of tough love is working, but Xiaoxian still can’t help wondering: will she ever get a chance at love again?

Love Is Not Blind Audience Reviews

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Steve Rigby Since there is only one review of this film on IMDb, and it is a relatively shallow, positive one, I felt compelled to express my acute lack of sympathy with the writing, acting and overall commercialism of this attempt of the mainland Chinese film industry to prove they can do romantic comedies as well as Hollywood - or, more precisely, the same as Hollywood.First of all, for someone to lose a boyfriend after seven years and to ostensibly recover in about 30 or 35 days is simply not plausible. In addition, she seems not really all that put out by the whole affair. She does fall asleep while working with a client, and she does yell at her boss, but other than these few feeling-sorry-for-myself lapses, she soldiers on with her job and cultivating new interests.Yes, she gets drunk - but this scene was merely set up to allow her ex to put her down with a few of the only well crafted lines of dialogue in the movie.The joke about 'hands-free' vs. 'mute' on a cell phone I've seen more than once before; the coming to care about a guy whom you suspected of batting for the other team has been done better elsewhere; the kindly indulgent advice from her understanding boss echoes so many Spencer Tracy -Elizabeth Taylor scenes; and finally, the pathos of losing your aunt and her story of her husband's infidelity seemed a patch job relatively unconnected to the rest of the film.The main problem is the central character, a girl seemingly chosen primarily for her looks rather than her acting ability, and with the writing, which gave her persona no real depth of sympathy with which the audience could feel any sort of empathy.3 out of 10.
Gordon-11 This film is about a woman working in a wedding planning agency. She handles her break up while dealing with clients looking for a dream wedding."Love Is Not Blind" is surprisingly well made. From make up, costumes, set designs, cinematography, the quality across the board is very good. In the vein of "500 Days Of Summer", "Love Is Not Blind" is fun, fluffy and a little quirky. I particularly like the set designs. Every scene looks as if it was lifted out from an modern interior design magazine. Even the way a dinner table is set is so stylish. Together with the portrayal of the dream wedding of ultra rich clients, this film reflects the rapidly changing society in mainland China.It is a simple story but it touches the heartstrings. I like the way the leading girl is untainted by the materialism and extravagance. Her male colleague is funny, and the campness is so well portrayed but not over the top. Another impressive thing is that there are a number of really deep one liners that is thought provoking, such as whether love is a luxury and Louis Vuitton is a necessity.I really enjoyed "Love Is Not Blind", and I look forward to China making more films of this calibre.
