Loop is a 1997 British romantic comedy feature film produced by Tedi De Toledo and Michael Riley. It was written by Tim Pears and is the debut film of director Allan Niblo.[1][2]
The writer of Loop, Tim Pears, also wrote the novel for In a Land of Plenty which was turned into an acclaimed 10-part TV drama serial for the BBC and produced by the London-based production company Sterling Pictures and Talkback Productions.[3]
The main character, Rachel, is dumped by her boyfriend and exacts revenge. This film is classified as a romantic comedy.
Contemporary British and Irish Film Directors: a Wallflower Critical Guide, panned the film, calling it a formulaic romantic comedy that was "obviously" filmed on a very small budget. The review makes note of problems with cinematography, sound, script, and direction, summarizing "Loop reminds you that good films are increasingly hard to make, and with countless projects languishing in development or distribution hell, it is difficult to see how this ever made it to the production line."[1]
