“Love After Love” (** out of four) was a moody but meandering melodrama about two very different sons (Chris O’Dowd and James Adomian) and the different paths of grief and survival they encounter when their father recently dies and their mother (Andie Macdowell) attempts to move on with her life. Hazy and aloof movie is given a boost by Macdowell who is ageless and engaging as usual but neither son is likeable and thus neither is worth following or caring about. Writer-director Russell Harbaugh shows some promise in his debut and harks back to early Woody Allen and Robert Altman but this stops short of hitting the mark.
