Love Is Strange Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
The premise is vast but merely swirls around topics peripherally.
Detroit News
Tom Long
'Love is Strange' takes something so right and leaves it hanging all wrong.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Love Is Strange" is a testament to love, not in an overly sentimental way, but in a realistic way.
America Magazine
John Anderson
Sachs is a profoundly visual artist with a musical soul. It's the basic storytelling that gets in his way.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
I left the theater on Thursday morning feeling sad and happy and, maybe, a little wiser. That's about all we can ask of a movie, I think.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
"Love is Strange" boasts an abundance of patience and kindness - but not much of a pulse.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Sachs rarely overstates his themes. "Love Is Strange" is largely a restrained drama about the loss of comfort.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Love Is Strange is drab-looking and has its longueurs, but it's emotionally very full.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
I can't say enough about how smart and clear-eyed it is. And moving: I'm wiping tears off my keyboard as I type this.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"Love Is Strange" is beautifully acted and bittersweet. It's a gentle reminder that modern love, like a houseplant, needs sunlight, space and attention to grow.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A film about learning, and changing, and learning to change.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Sachs tells the story with artful economy - one late, crucial plot point happens without our seeing it - and ends it with an achingly lovely image, caught in golden sunlight.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
All this might have become downright tedious were it not for the fact that Lithgow and Molina remain exquisitely watchable actors; their performances here are models of subtlety, especially when nothing all that dramatic is happening onscreen.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
What lends it spirit is the performances, both major and minor, and Sachs's determination to dramatize same-sex love not as groundbreaking, but as securely rooted -- rent control and all -- in common ground.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Love Is Strange" is one of those lovely little movies that starts out being about a handful of people and ends up being about all of us.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Claude Peck
The movie, which feels a bit like a mashup of Woody Allen and Mike Leigh, succeeds on its simple story and its lead actors.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Lithgow and Molina exquisitely capture the intimacy and interdependence that only those in very long-term relationships understand.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The strangest thing about "Love Is Strange" is how completely un-strange it is, from its familiar family dynamics to its exquisite honesty and compassion.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Beautifully realized in Sachs's sensitive characterization are the pain of separation and the despair of becoming a burden on the next generation.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
See "Love Is Strange" for its sensitivity and understated jokes, but mainly for Lithgow and Molina's expertly modulated work, which pulls the movie back when it threatens to stray into melodrama or heavy-handedness.
