The seven-year-itch arrives a couple of years early for Adam and Marklin in independent romantic comedy “Almost Love.” Could that be because they’re gay men? Adam tries to tamp down that thought shortly after he and Marklin celebrate their fifth anniversary. Maybe it’s because they aren’t yet hitched, even though gay marriage has been an option for more than a decade. Why aren’t they? Marklin asks himself. It’s not that either is stepping out. There’s just a malaise.
Doyle’s script tests the cheeky and irreverent, mostly with its female characters. The women grapple with their own third-life — give or take — crises. When we first meet Adam’s bestie, Elizabeth , she’s riding high on the crest of a 15-year marriage. What will happen if that wave crashes? Haley is a tutor clumsily skirting the dodgy in her relationship with a high-school senior Scott James .
Doyle and cinematographer Ludovic Littee offer up a crisp, color-saturated, even spiffed up New York City. The film’s occasional flashbacks to its characters’ sweeter times have an intentionally abstract, romantic warmth. Adam’s visit with his father at a restaurant provides a sense of what else might be weighing on the stymied artist. It comes surprisingly late. Who Marklin’s sneaking off to visit also gets a slow reveal.

I’m holding you to that, Mr. CEO. This must be an April Fools as no one could possibly be that ignorant to think cinemas will reopen whilst people are still dying in the US in large numbers from Coronavirus as cinemas aren't likely to reopen until there haven't been any deaths for at least a week?
