The Face of Love is a romantic drama film that was released in 2013. It features a star-studded cast with Annette Bening, Ed Harris, and Robin Williams. The film revolves around a widow named Nikki (Annette Bening) who is still grieving over the loss of her husband. She has been trying to move on, but is unable to find any joy in dating or socializing.

However, one day when she visits an art museum, she sees a man (Ed Harris) who looks exactly like her late husband. This man's name is Tom and he is an artist. The resemblance is so strong that Nikki is unable to resist the attraction and starts to pursue a relationship with him. Tom is initially unaware of Nikki's past, and the two of them start to build a romance that is both exciting and full of secrets.

The film explores the complexities of relationships and how grief can affect our decisions. Nikki's daughter (played by Jess Weixler) is concerned about her mother's new relationship, and tries to convince her to move on from her past. Meanwhile, Tom has his own secrets and issues to deal with. He is still in love with his ex-wife (played by Robin Williams), who left him several years ago. Despite this, he gradually falls in love with Nikki.

Annette Bening's performance as Nikki is exceptional, as she is able to convey a wide range of emotions convincingly. Her portrayal of a woman trying to find happiness again after the death of her husband is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Ed Harris is equally brilliant as Tom, a man who is haunted by the memories of his past.

Robin Williams, in one of his final film roles, plays Tom's ex-wife and adds a gentle touch to the film. Her character is kind and sympathetic, providing an important contrast to Nikki's unhealed pain. The chemistry between Annette Bening and Ed Harris is palpable and their interactions are a pleasure to watch.

The Face of Love is beautifully shot and the locations are stunning. The art museum scenes add another layer to the film, bringing in themes of beauty and art in addition to the story of Nikki and Tom. The film's score, composed by Marcelo Zarvos, is also noteworthy. It complements the emotional resonance of the film, creating a stirring atmosphere.

Overall, The Face of Love is a well-crafted film that explores themes of love, loss, and grief. The cast is excellent, and the film is thought-provoking and emotional. It is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the human need to find happiness, even in the most challenging of circumstances.

The Face of Love is a 2013 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 32 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2 and a MetaScore of 51.
