Love + Hate

Love + Hate is a modern love story set across the racial divide in a Northern town. Adam has been brought up in a home and community that fosters racial hatred. Naseema is a girl from the same town, belonging to a new generation of Asian youth who have taken up the violence offered to them as a way of reclaiming the past. But what Adam and Naseema really share is a secret desire to break free of their small town and its inhibitions, something they discover while working together in a DIY store. At first resistant, they cannot avoid their mutual attraction, and embark on a relationship which threatens to bring down their families as well as themselves.

    Another great British film

    Saw this on a plane a few weeks ago. Typical down to earth British film exploring racism in a northern town - not in a particularly deep way. Its well acted with the young actors bringing life and believability to the characters. I wasn't intending on watching it, but once started it turned out to be well worth it.

    Racism for Daily Mail readers

    Contrived and pitifully written racial propaganda. The talented yong cast fail to salvage what is a cliched and stereotypical 'Romeo and Juliet in Yorkshire'. The film comes across as a drama exercise written by school children. No sense of realism, depth to the characters or attempt to genuinely convey any aspect of racism other than 'Oi Paki!'. I doubt the director has ever been to the north of England or even met a muslim.
