‘Love' Review: Intimacy and Interconnection in Oslo
The 60-year-old Norwegian novelist and filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud has embarked on a loose trilogy whose parts bear titles so death-and-taxes fundamental as to suggest a ponderously sweeping ambition. First comes 'Love,' opening this weekend, and then come 'Sex' and 'Dreams,' due later this year.
Yet 'Love,' at least, has few pretensions of being a grand statement. It's a modest, moving drama abundant with conversation, and while the movie considers major questions—about intimacy, monogamy, care—it never becomes weighed down by them. This is, in part, because it's also a shimmering, contemplative portrait of a handful of people and the modern city in which they live. Fair warning: It might make you want to move to Oslo.

The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Jordan Love will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday Night Football. That matchup is now officially going to happen. On Friday, Rodgers agreed to terms with the Steelers. He flew to Pittsburgh to sign his deal, and he will be the new starting quarterback for the storied franchise. For the first time since the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets back in April of 2023, the future Hall of Fame quarterback will have a chance to play against his old team. Fans on both sides could not be more excited to watch Love and Rodgers play against each other.

More Photo byWhen Love learned about the news of Rodgers officially agreeing with the Steelers, he spoke out about his old teammate. He received the news during the AmFam Championship. Read more: Steelers Trade Proposal Would Land Another Superstar for Aaron Rodgers As shared by Jason Wilde of WISC-TV News 3, Love had nothing but good things to say about Rodgers. He's clearly excited to face off against his old mentor. "I was excited for A-Rod. I don't think I was too surprised," Love said. "I feel like there were a lot of rumors going on throughout the whole offseason about him going to the Steelers. I was excited for him, that he was obviously coming back and going to be playing. There were also some rumors that he might be done, so just knowing he's going to keep playing, that's pretty awesome." Love continued on, speaking out more about how Rodgers treated him when he was drafted. He's thankful for Rodgers and the way he handled things. "I appreciate definitely the way A-Rod handled being in that situation, and I think a big part of it — which he told me — was he knew how it was for him being in that same position, and the things that he went through and the way the situation might've been handled [differently]," Love said. "I think his perspective was, 'I'm trying to go about this a little bit differently,' which I think was awesome." Finally, the Green Bay franchise quarterback spoke out specifically about his matchup with Rodgers during the 2025 season.

"I can't wait to be on different sides, meeting up, and I know we'll talk pre-game, things like that. And hopefully we can exchange jerseys after." Just like Rodgers when he faced off against Brett Favre, there will be some emotions involved in the game. Even though Rodgers is no longer connected to the Packers, what he did with the franchise will never be forgotten. However, when the two teams step onto the field, all friendships will be forgotten for 60 minutes of game action. Love playing against Rodgers on Sunday Night Football will be must-watch football.
