The French Language film Amour, I Didn't Love It

Amour the French Language, Austrian film, just received the Golden Globe Award for best picture and received 5 Oscar nominations.  It Is written & directed by Michael Haneke, Oscar nnominee & Palm d'or winner.  The film stars Emmanuelle Riva whose Oscar nomination makes her the oldest nominee, ever.  Her daughter is played by French actress Isabelle Huppert.  What's not to love?  Haneke is known for his bleak & disturbing style.  He may have outdid himself here.  Just know what you're in for: an elderly couple, the wife's debilitating stroke leads to a rapid deterioration, she is cared for by her aged spouse to the best of his abilities & patience.  This movie plays as a realistic, gut wrenching look at the indignities & hardships of aging and dependency.  It is artfully filmed and finely acted.  More importantly, it is a frank look at our futures in old age and the painful burdens left those who tend the needs of loved ones.  The Amour between the couple is palpable  - until it isn't.  If that's a buzz kill for the movie, be advised, the movie is a real downer.  I'm sure Amour will continue to garner more awards for its excellence but I have no love loss for this dismal film.
