Love is strange and so is this movie, but in a good way. It's so low key that you barely notice when big things are happening. Mar 20, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The emotion is in the writing and in the story. The actors realise that it's the details which count here -- the looks and gestures -- not the showy speeches. Feb 13, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It starts with a marriage. A marriage which is also, unexpectedly, an ending of sorts, although you wouldn't know it from the hum of warmth and goodwill that surrounds Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina). Feb 13, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Molina and Lithgow are both superb: two crusty romantics searching for crumbs in a world, however well-meaning, that is too busy for love unless it comes tidy, manageable and vexation-free. Feb 12, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Sachs takes Love is Strange into a territory where elliptical storytelling puts a stranglehold on any chance of building an affection for Ben and George. Nov 26, 2019 | Rating: 2.8/5 | Full Review…

Sachs has crafted something universal and resonant, a Bittersweet, funny and ultimately moving film that shows that even though love may be strange, it's never anything short of beautiful. Jul 5, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Charming, warming and occasionally frustrating. Love is Strange is transformed from a warm stage play into an honest, beautiful love story by its two outstanding leads. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As dire as things become, there's an elegance to the way it all unfolds with cinematographer Christos Voudouris making New York feel as loosely comfortable as he made Greece appear in "Before Midnight". Nov 20, 2018 | Full Review…
