It’s too easy to feel superior to these two people and their marriage in hell for the sake of some easy (or even uneasy) laughter.

Consensus: Crazy Love’s subjects and story are so compelling that they overcome the doc’s dry, talking heads format.

Reviews for Crazy Love
Top CriticFar too readily tends to play this pathetic story for laughs.
09/22/07
Top CriticA Bronx tale full of jaw-dropping behavior and jaw-dropping hairdos.
09/22/07
Top CriticParticularly because many viewers have already seen the TV-news version, almost any other genre would have been even more compelling -- a fictionalized drama, perhaps, or Truman Capote-style narrative non-fiction.
07/05/07
Top CriticIt’s an amazing story.
06/18/07
Top Critic... though Crazy Love remains a far cry from heartening, it is more amusing than disturbing, especially given the cranky yet symbiotic couple of today.
06/15/07
Top CriticCrazy is the word for it, and if writer-director Dan Klores seems a bit too sympathetic at times, he still lays out a twisted story of obsession that ends in well-maintained mutual madness.
06/15/07
Top Critic... Crazy Love is something less than artful, while being completely compelling in its attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible.
06/15/07
Top CriticDan Klores' crazy relationship doc Crazy Love takes a tale tailor-made for sensationalist treatment and sculpts it into a riveting three-act drama.
06/15/07
Top CriticSimultaneously disturbing and luridly entertaining.
06/08/07
Top CriticAmong the weirdest explorations of connubial relationships since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? And like Edward Albee's 1962 play, it leaves one feeling queasy about human nature.
06/08/07
Top CriticYou could not make this stuff up.
06/08/07
Top CriticI could tell you all the surprises that make the loopy documentary Crazy Love such an odd treat, but then I'd be undermining the whole point of telling you to go.
06/08/07
Top CriticCrazy Love seems to promise a demented, true-life film noir love story and winds up delivering an above-average A&E documentary.
06/08/07
Top CriticCrazy Love scrapes away the cartoon exterior around this story and peers into the unknowable murk of the human heart.
06/08/07
Top CriticInterviews with Burt and Linda Pugach, the New York couple whose tabloid lives are chronicled in Dan Klores' docu-curio Crazy Love, have been politely nonjudgmental. After seeing the movie, I'd like to say I hate one and pity the other.
06/07/07
Top CriticSome stories are so weird they could only be true.
06/07/07
Top CriticJaw-dropping true crime, this video documentary by Dan Klores and Fisher Stevens balances neatly between tabloid headlines and unfathomable intimacy.
06/07/07
Top CriticA documentary about a mad love affair, a movie that's about as compulsively watchable as a great tabloid headline story is compulsively readable -- and also a lot more rewarding.
06/07/07
Top CriticYou can make of it what you want. [Director] Klores offers no cheap psycho-babble.
