Review For LUV |
Director-co-writer Sheldon Candis stretches a lot of the time, a romantic story seems to have been cut drastically, and the film's climax is far too typical. Tom Long-Detroit News
Even the boarded-up row houses look romantic. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
A sometimes taut and occasionally preposterous day in the life of an 11-year-old accompanying his uncle on business in Baltimore. Stephanie Merry-Washington Post
What begins as a promising peek into the tragic cycle of waylaid promise that's crippling broken inner-city families is itself dispiritingly pulled sideways in the Baltimore-set indie "LUV." Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
Both for good and for ill, "LUV" has a film-school feeling about it, and channels a legacy of fatalistic American crime cinema that includes "Mean Streets" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
Saved from its predictable plotline by a strong cast and a central relationship written and performed with sensitivity, LUV reveals the stakes of trusting in a role model and the costs when that person turns out to be human. Joel Arnold-NPR
if interpreted as "a fable" you may be able to shrug it off. Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush
Candis demonstrates a practiced hand in his direction, keeping the pace brisk and the tension taut. But there's no getting around the meandering and highly formulaic script. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Clearly inspired by the television show "The Wire," newbie writer-director Sheldon Candis stumbles through crime drama clichés in a prosaic coming-of-age movie that fails to connect on any level. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
It's got the heart and soul, but not the brain. Robert Levin-amNewYork
Gritty drama follows young boy exposed to violence, drugs. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media
An attempt to do something new in the field of boyz-n-the-hood relationship dramas. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
A hackneyed, from-the-streets Sundance drama that would be mostly forgettable if not for the performance of child actor Michael Rainey Jr. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Candis doesn't trust his himself to pull it off, weighing the film down with a disconnected score that pushes an otherwise edgy story into melodrama. Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine
An almost likable movie about unshackling the past. Chase Whale-Twitch
