Dove Review

Matthew and Lisa had a true and deeply rooted love that kept them wholly devoted to one another. Unfortunately, a twist of lies wrenches the two apart, which culminates in a surprising ending. The film demonstrates how lies can cause great destruction in people’s lives and can have a rippling effect far beyond measure. Sex outside of the context of marriage is portrayed as appropriate and normal. While low on violence, it is loaded with obscenities and profanities that detract from the film. Wicker Park’s PG-13 rating is borderline R and should only be viewed by adult audiences.
