Sea of Love Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What impressed me most in the film was the personal chemistry between Pacino and Barkin. There can be little doubt, at this point, that Barkin is one of the most intense and passionately convincing actresses now at work in American movies.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Sea of Love has its Cinemax lapses in taste, but most films of the genre lack sophistication from which to lapse.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
A lugubrious imitation of a second-rate television movie, over-produced and over-cast.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Marred by an implausible ending, 'Sea of Love' is still one Pacino's best vehicles.

Brian Mckay
Mediocre thriller with a good cast. I never want to hear that [expletive deleted] song again.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
Price and director Harold Becker build in enough jumps and scares and good red herrings to be satisfying ...
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
A bluesy thriller with a clever though not overly complicated premise.
OutWeek
Peter Bowen and Casey Finch
Turning post-modern dating into routine police work (and vice versa), these detectives turn the real dangers of unprotected casual sex into the imagined criminal danger of single women.

Mark R. Leeper
The plot may have been intended to be clever but fails somehow to have anything very unexpected. There are problems in continuity, casting, and plotting.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
The film is passionate, entertaining, well written, and directed with acceptable competence. [Full review in Spanish]
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
In the end the picture is done in by its familiarity - anyone who has seen any cop movies or cop TV shows has seen most of "Sea of Love" too many times before.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
More or less a popcorn thriller, but a good one of that.
Southern Voice (Atlanta)
Terry Francis
Sea of Love barely dips below the surface of the psycho-killer genre and it barely has time for the emotional complexity of its secondary characters. Yet Sea of Love is genuinely entertaining.
