Story
The story of 'Loverboy' (2005) revolves around Emily and her son Paul. Emily wanted to be a mother without a husband and raised Paul alone, nicknaming him Loverboy. The film begins with Emily telling six-year-old Paul about their past during an imaginary car trip where he practices driving. Flashbacks show Emily's desire for motherhood, her fun yet sometimes manic interactions with Paul throughout his infancy and childhood, and Paul's growing wish to attend school and socialize with others. Emily's own childhood, marked by neglectedness due to her parents' preoccupation with each other, also surfaces. The main conflict arises from Emily's struggle to let Paul grow independently while she grapples with her possessive tendencies.
Summary
Directed by Kevin Bacon in 2005, 'Loverboy' is a drama that explores the complexities of motherhood and the challenges of letting go as children grow up. The film is based on Arthur Nersesian's novel of the same name. It delves into Emily's emotional journey from a neglected daughter to a possessive mother who loved her son too much. The narrative is interspersed with musical performances, including a rendition of David Bowie's 'Life on Mars' sung by Emily at a school talent show, reflecting her desire for escape and change.
