In an age in which it feels as if seemingly pure intimacy no longer exists, this film thrives on nothing but intimate moments.
Top CriticIt's not that you don't care for these urbanites -- you do, but it's in spite of Andresevic's unengaged hanging-around and general air of slightness.
Throw a party and ask all your friends to share their stories; you'll probably find more surprises, and have a lot more fun.
Breakups and disappearances, loneliness and failing health fit into the film's fabric like beats in a TV drama.
Who needs clichéd Hollywood love stories when you can see the real thing?
TV reality show-style doc offers superficial portraits of amour.
Jill Andresevic's simply photographed documentary springs from an equally simple premise...
A good first date documentary.
A particularly poignant examination of love which magically ushers the audience right into the middle of the romantic relationships of a variety of native New Yorkers.
Each of the six protagonists in Love Etc. are sweet and hopeful in a genuinely human way that fictional films simply cannot touch.
[A]voids cloying clichés through the bittersweet lessons each learns [to show] "I love you" can be richer, more nuanced, and more expansive than Hollywood fairy tales.
How do you find love in a teeming city of 18 million souls? This lightweight, likable documentary attempts to answer that question.
Tedious portraits and flat observations about love by couples and singles in New York City.
Love Etc.'s cross-section of New Yorkers simply isn't as captivating as its cross-section of New York, particularly the Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods that rarely grace the screen.
[VIDEO] Jill Andresevic's hokey-but-enjoyable brief documentary study of romantic relationships is set in New York's five boroughs.
While Love Etc. shows restraint in its broad look at the universal desire for companionship, it remains a frustratingly thin affair.
A cautiously optimistic doc that explores the relationships of eight New Yorkers.
Andresevic includes photogenic clips of the vibrant and diverse areas of New York City, giving a strong sense of the settings of the different love stories spread around the city.

It's not highly dramatic, but it is interesting and most of the people you do care what happens to them. I found the elderly couple the most moving, while the one I liked least was the single dad (but I guess even he acknowledged at the end he needs to grow up).
Good documentary about relationships. Recommended.
