“Signs Of Love” (*** out of four) was an affecting melodrama about a young man (Hopper Penn) from the streets who sees no way out of his dead-end life with selling drugs and engaging in crime until he meets and falls in love with a young deaf woman (Shannan Wilson) and this puts him at a crossroads in his life for the first time for himself and also his drug-addicted father (Wass Stevens) and his alcoholic and troubled sister (Dylan Penn). Flavorful and gritty story immerses you right into the character’s lives and desperation and holds you in its grip. Not a great film but well-told and well-acted especially by Hopper Penn who’s the son of Sean; this film resembles his father’s earlier work in “At Close Range” and also “White Boy Rick.”
