Surprisingly, “Love of Your Life” isn’t based on a book. Screenwriter Julia Cox (“Nyad”) certainly takes inspiration from literary offerings for the feature, employing a patience with storytelling as she creates a decade of life for a character experiencing the highs and lows of relationships that alter her personal ways. There’s obvious intimacy in play here, but also something of an epic quality as years pass and situations change, giving the film a lot to work with despite not following much of a plot. Director Rachel Morrison (who impressed with 2024’s “The Fire Inside”) goes dreamy and dramatic with the endeavor, following Cox’s lead as they embark on a mission to detail the inner life of a woman who’s worked hard to detach herself from the world. “Love of Your Life” is a tearjerker, but also deeply felt and involving for the most part, breaking free from soap opera-y entanglements to deal with hard emotions and troubling behavior.
