Reviews for The Loveless
1 - 9 (sorted by date)
A strange, but compelling amalgam of art film and homage to the American International Pictures biker flicks of the 1960s.
10/26/07
Bigelow's first feature, co-written and co-directed with Monty Montgomery, is a nihilistic meditation on 1950s biker flicks, featuring Willem Dafoe in his first screen role.
01/24/07
Mostly concerned about how it looks and not too concerned about its story or in making great observations.
11/21/06
At times the perversely slow beat of each scene can irritate, but that's a reasonable price for the film's super-saturated atmosphere.
06/24/06
Intelligent, provocative, camp, indulgent, erotic, occasionally frustrating, and often brilliant.
05/14/05
Its evocation of tough-guy glamour is ridiculously stilted. And it regards the past with absolutely no perspective or wit.
05/14/05
Top CriticA slightly hallucinatory homage to The Wild Ones.
05/14/05
A minor classic of a certain attitude.
