Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Loving Annabelle earns its spot. The chemistry between the leads is the engine that drives everything, and Loving Annabelle makes sure it fires. Annabelle is the wise-beyond-her-years newcomer to an exclusive Catholic girls school. Having been expelled from her first two schools she's bound to stir some trouble. Sparks fly though when sexual chemistry appears between her and the Head of her dorm and English teacher, Simone Bradley. Erin Kelly and Diane Gaidry lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2007. Romance lives or dies on chemistry, and Loving Annabelle has it in the cast combination that the writers chose to put at the centre of everything. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Erin Kelly carries the emotional throughline with real conviction. You will have strong feelings about it by the finale.
