Sounds the same as NOMADLAND: A woman, a trailer, the American West—but A LOVE SONG is completely different—and, some might find, significantly better than that Best Picture Oscar winner. In a film as superficially sparse yet deeply full as the landscape in which it is set, A LOVE SONG is built on the tremendously affecting performance of its star, Dale Dickey. After unhitching her camper at a lakeside in the mountains, Faye finds her rhythm cooking meals, retrieving crawfish from a trap, and scanning her old box radio for a station. She looks expectantly at the approach of a car or the mailman, explaining to neighboring campers that she's waiting for a childhood sweetheart, Lito, whom she hasn’t seen in decades. Will he come? And if he does…??? A LOVE SONG is as simple and as complex as that…
