"It is a treasure that speaks directly to the idea of love as an
ephemeral emotion in all its complexity. " - BRUCE KIRKLAND - Toronto Sun

"..now THIS is how to make an intelligent, appealing and adult romantic comedy, one that doesn’t cave into every convention of the genre - Dan Jardime -Cinemania.

Synopsis: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Carol Shields, The Republic of Love is a romantic comedy about the barriers facing the lucky and the unlucky in love in the 21st century. Tom is a charismatic late-night radio talk show host whose unconventional upbringing has made him a little too quick to fall in love and marry. Fay is an academic whose expectations are impossibly high as a result of the living perfection that is her parents’ marriage. The characters connect in a maze of malls, condos and family homes, underpinning the idea that ‘geography is destiny’ and that each of us has our own
‘republic’, where lives intersect.
