What to know

critics consensus

While it's a well-acted and occasionally involving mood piece, Lost Girls & Love Hotels often dampens its erotic elements with listless ennui. Read critic reviews

Critic Reviews for Lost Girls & Love Hotels

All Critics (24) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (12)

  • There is... something well controlled in the movie as it maintains its cool, even pace and Alexandra Daddario's performance as the vulnerable, secretive yet emotionally open Margaret is smart.

    February 4, 2021 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Peter Bradshaw

    Guardian

  • This is one of the better intimate dramas of the year.

    September 25, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Richard Roeper

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • Too vapid to work as a psychological drama, too silly to work as a passionate romance, and too tepid to work as a sexy guilty pleasure.

    September 23, 2020 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

    Peter Sobczynski

    RogerEbert.com

  • This is a sober portrait of a woman in trouble, whose depressive, compulsive and self-destructive tendencies lead her down a dangerous road.

    September 21, 2020 | Full Review…

    Michael Ordoña

    Los Angeles Times

  • A persuasive depiction of aimless hedonism.

    September 17, 2020 | Full Review…

    John DeFore

    Hollywood Reporter

  • Olsson's film works as an atmospheric mood piece and sometime erotic drama. It's less successful as a character study.
