Love Liza Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It comes the closest to any movie experience I've had in re-creating the aftermath of unexplained suicide.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Largely this sad story is handled with a morbidity and monotony that go nowhere -- certainly not toward understanding.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
This is a film that succeeds on the strength of its acting, which is uniformly brilliant.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
A low-key labor of love that strikes a very resonant chord.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A showcase for an actor's actor rather than as a drama that engages our hearts.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
The script isn't very good; not even someone as gifted as Hoffman (the actor) can make it work.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
By turns whimsical and disturbing, Love Liza is anchored by Philip Seymour Hoffman's persuasive performance.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
It is a warm, perceptive study of people who do curious things.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's hard to love Love Liza, Todd Louiso's well-crafted but grim exercise in misery, but hiding within it are moments of exquisite acting.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
This is a nicely handled affair, a film about human darkness but etched with a light (yet unsentimental) touch.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Despite Hoffman's best efforts, Wilson remains a silent, lumpish cipher; his encounters reveal nothing about who he is or who he was before.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There is a kind of attentive concern that Hoffman brings to his characters, as if he has been giving them private lessons, and now it is time for their first public recital.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Louiso has a confident touch and a good eye, and there isn't a scene in the film that wasn't intelligently done.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Oddly, the film isn't nearly as downbeat as it sounds, but strikes a tone that's alternately melancholic, hopeful and strangely funny.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Louiso lets the movie dawdle in classic disaffected-indie-film mode, and brother Hoffman's script stumbles over a late-inning twist that just doesn't make sense.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
An amazing little character study.
PopMatters
Nick Schager
Love Liza fetishizes grief to the point of abstraction, leaving viewers in an emotional lurch.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
This isn't an uplifting nor a profoundly memorable film, but it's honorable and honest enough to face a truth that Hollywood movies rarely deliver: that life sometimes deals us injuries from which we never recover.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Love Liza doesn't so much dramatize one character's process of mourning as string together arbitrarily strange scenarios that allow a performer to perform.
