Love is Strange

"It's hard to picture a more charming screen couple than John Lithgow and Alfred Molina. Who wouldn't want to spend 90 minutes in their company? Besides this casting coup, and the (presumably substantial) difficulties of financing a film about elderly gay men, Ira Sach's genteel effort must be considered a missed opportunity, maybe worse."

"Beautifully observed ensembler shines on the strength of its two leads, John Lithgow and Alfred Molina."

"It's an essential-and essentially New York-story about limited room, limited time but incalculable attachment."

"The story of George and Ben seems to have been plucked from a meadow of narrative possibilities; an interesting movie could have been made about everybody in this one."

"One of those quiet movies that sneaks up and punches you in the face, just as you were thinking "What does any of this add up to?""

"Finds the drama in any moment without pushing too hard, and uses small details to bring relationships into focus."

"A sprawling yet intimate narrative, constructed almost entirely of in-between moments rather than the big turning points and tragedies."
