Kelly Blatz plays Loren, a young director courting Rose, a famous actress played by Jacqueline Bisset. They meet at a quaint restaurant in Topanga for a meal that’s also an audition for Loren’s new film. As in the 1981 Louis Malle classic My Dinner with Andre, dialogue dominates what follows. Loren and Rose, it turns out, have a lot to talk about, and both are wonderful listeners. Unlike the earlier film, the meal is split into three distinct moments in time. The appetizer course occurs as the two get to know each other. The main course happens after they have worked together on a successful film, and dessert comes when things have changed again for both characters.

Over a period of six years, this unlikely pair are shown meeting for three different meals at the same country inn—enjoying an exotic appetizer, a filling entree, and the kind of dessert best eaten with eyes closed. During the course of these three meals, we see them grow from casual and guarded to deeply revealing.

Jacqueline Bisset is perfectly cast and her co-star is a perfect balance. Director your Russell Brown takes his time and lets the movie unfurl like a flag in front of your eyes.

Russell Brown’s Loren & Rose is a film that shocked and surprised me in terms of its authentic feel and effectiveness bred from such a simple concept. A director and a legendary actress have a full meal together over the course of six years—an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert.
