Crazy Love...sidles up to us, thrills and surprises us, seduces us with the pop flavor of its mid-century paperback aesthetic and its titillating tabloid tale. Crazy Love is chummy. Full Review |

4/5 |
Apresenta, mesmo que de forma convencional, uma história de amor fascinante em suas insanas reviravoltas. Full Review |

|
B+ |
Stranger than fiction: This decades-long amour fou is so astonishing in its twists and turns that it's hard to believe it's factual. While contextualizing the tale in the pre-feminist era, Klores leaves some mysteries open, thus allowing for speculation Full Review |

As with all banner-head stories, there comes a point when you tire of being screamed at. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

There hasn't been a documentary this sick since Kirby Dick's Sick! Full Review |

Directors Dan Klores and Fisher Stevens treat this as a straight-up documentary and it is fascinating in a terribly sad sort of way. But it's difficult not to wonder why we need to hear this story. Full Review |

The film lassoes you in with "ya gotta hear this" prurience. Full Review |

Offers little save morbid titillation. Full Review |

Crazy Love is tabloid journalism at its most base and vulgar, with the same moral bankruptcy as the media outlets that turned this tragedy into grotesque copy in the first place. Full Review |

You say 'psychotic codependency' like it's a bad thing. Full Review |
