It's always nice to see these faces, but it's pretty benign.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
This is a very slight movie. It's likable and warm-hearted.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
The film's progressive credentials are so strenuously signalled throughout, I'm surprised its full title wasn't "Love Sarah #PeoplesVote #FBPE".

Daily Telegraph (UK)
A skin-itchingly uncomfortable dynamic at the heart of it...

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review
However, like Natasha's infamously soggy cake from season three of Bake Off, this one needed much more time in the oven.

Kevin Maher
Times (UK)
It's easy to be sniffy about a film that sets three friends on an against-all-odds quest to set up Notting Hill's 400th artisanal bakery, but its big-heartedness manages to defy cynicism.

Philip De Semlyen
Time Out
[T]his good-natured but ultimately bland and predictable story ... has its heart in the right place, so it can be recommended viewing for anyone who's in the mood for an uplifting story about forgiveness and following dreams.

Culture Mix
Director Eliza Schroeder's (first feature film) Love Sarah is a film which is almost good. And because it is filled with such a big heart I am sure many in the audience will excuse most of its flaws and enjoy watching.

Carey-Ann Pawsey
Orca Sound
Most viewers who seek out Love Sarah might be satisfied by its sappiness and comforting predictability, but this creation could have used more time in the oven.

Alex McPherson
Cultured Vultures
Sensitively written and directed, this comedy-drama opens with a tragedy before shifting into a more upbeat tone.

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
The food looks yummy, but the contrived script leaves a sour taste. In assuring all the subplots are neatly tied up, the film is all dessert and no meal.

Todd Jorgenson
Cinemalogue
All these threads get tied up rather nicely by the end of the film's 97 minutes, making Love Sarah a simple, satisfying accompaniment to a pandemic lockdown.
