Movie Reviews

  • the writing fails, though, Candis' work with actors...is solid
    by Robert Abele [LA Times ]
  • the screenplay lets its characters down, as it devolves into platitudes and melodrama
    2 of 5 by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News ]
  • solid skills, and clearly works well with actors
    by David Rooney [Hollywood Reporter ]
  • heartfelt and formulaic in equal measure
    by Robert Koehler [Variety ]
  • every scene wobbles around
    Review rate : C- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]
  • As a film that largely works as a subdued twist on the familiar drama about crime and family, LUV needed more intimacy and focus
    2.5 of 4 by R. Kurt Osenlund [Slant Magazine ]
  • although Common and Rainey make a well-matched duo, their chemistry is frequently squandered by a script (co-written by director Sheldon Candis and Justin Wilson) that boxes them into impossible roles in one cliched scene after another
    by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice ]
  • a clumsily violent attempt at grafting two reliable genres together into one somewhat edgy picture
    1.5 of 4 by Roger Moore [Movie Nation ]
