Critic Reviews for Love Is the Devil
All Critics (19) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (6) | DVD (1)
a celluloid portrait every bit as grimly disturbing as anything that Bacon himself produced, and far too darkly imaginative to be tarred with the 'biopic' brush.
June 15, 2007 | Full Review…
Powerfully well-acted.
June 12, 2004 | Rating: 3/5
But whatever I think of Bacon and his art work I was, nevertheless, still dazzled by the breathless performance of Derek Jacobi...
January 1, 2000 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
a riveting and disquieting portrait of a riveting and disquieting painter
January 1, 2000
Looking through a color art book on Bacon actually would make an appropriate substitute to watching the film.

Audience Reviews for Love Is the Devil
½
"...we all have nightmares. They can't be as horrific as life." Deep, dark and unsettling. An artful obliteration of the line between genius and madness.
