When Will I Be Loved Reviews
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Most atrocious movies build into their badness, as lacks of talent, ideas, self-confidence, or a total hatred of an audience, are revealed. This one gets it out of the way up front and never looks back.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Weller has a bright future; he's compelling and funny as Ford. Campbell, with her little-girl voice and easy, guileless smile, is the perfect choice for the role of a woman everyone underestimates.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Another art film that's more pretentious than it needs to be.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Like a jazz solo that touches familiar themes on its way to a triumphant and unexpected conclusion.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
Toback doesn't seem to have much more in mind than looking for new ways to give his festering observations about Manhattan a kinky pull on the whiskers.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
When Will I Be Loved isn't so much a variation on the indie director's earlier themes as it is an amusing riff.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Toback's tangled noirish plot, with Vera as a post-feminist femme fatale, isn't particularly clever or original. Nor is its feminist slant totally convincing.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Once you get past the sleazy residue of the borderline soft-core porn scenes, When Will I Be Loved gets into a kind of low-rent Cassavetes groove.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The slapdash plot, paper-thin characters, misogynist undertones, and mechanical crosscutting are all soft-core standbys.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Mr. Weller's Ford Welles attains a new extreme of self-loathing on Mr. Toback's part: This compulsive chain-talker has even less charm, substance, dignity or wit than any of his self-hating predecessors.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Collapses under the weight of its own pretension, a victim of misogyny trying to pass itself off as female sexual empowerment.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Neve Campbell is amazing in this film to be able to handle that dialogue.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
The (inadvertent) question we are left with is, How much is there to know about [Vera] anyway?
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The whole picture seems coated with a slimy sheen of drool.
Variety
Robert Koehler
The faux-feminist streak that has run through Toback's recent work feels no less inauthentic this time.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A slim idea for a pulp-fiction short story padded out to 81 minutes with random encounters and celebrity sightings.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
When Will I be Loved isn't a great leap forward for Toback, but it certainly is a step up from the noxious delirium of his last effort, Harvard Man.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
You won't like anyone you meet in this trifle, nor care whether anyone gets any bang for his buck.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The story seems like yet another flimsy excuse for the aging auteur to show us how hip and sexually liberated he is.
