The packaging is so intelligently resourceful that most viewers will enjoy the ride regardless of its enigmatic destination.
Top CriticStealing its visual and thematic cues from the likes of Moon, Solaris and 2001, Love is an uneven but never less than intriguing trip into headspace.
Technically proficient, good-looking - but what's the point?
An enterprising, depressive sci-fi movie in the meditative mode of La Jetée, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris.
It almost works.
Has ideas, but ideas alone do not a successful movie make.
A fine example of budget filmmaking with this beautifully shot and thought provoking Sci-Fi tale of loss, isolation and loneliness ...
Wildly ambitious, Eubank's sci-fi often hits the mark.
At about the two-thirds mark, the film starts to wander off on its own, seemingly without really caring if the audience is following along or not.
Love is beautiful and lovely and as remote as a distant star.
Eubank is not strong on literal explanations - or on the science underpinning his story. He is an impressionist, alert to the waves of nostalgia that can be unleashed by a single visual metaphor.
Eubank may well have a future as a cinematographer, or in the special effects business. But a filmmaker he ain't.
Impressionistic, DIY sci-fi suffers from a lack of cohesion but is a finely crafted debut from a gifted director.
Eubank has a practised control of the frame, and an understanding of form that makes this micro-budget feature punch well above its weight.
Somehow - for only $500,000, using a set he built in his parents' yard - Eubank has fashioned an avant-garde Moon, harnessing greater ambition and technical flair than most mega-budget hype magnets.

A wonderful, if slightly depressing exploration of the need of human to human contact with a beautiful setting.
Hard to follow at times, but if you're as into your Hard SciFi as you should be, this movie is for you.
