Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The ease and the seriousness with which each exchange builds to the suggestion of sex (or further relations) is often charming. Rated: 3/4 May 16, 2025 Full Review Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal It’s the sort of talky European drama that, in its well-expressed thoughtfulness, leaves one feeling strangely refreshed. I’ll happily take two more. May 15, 2025 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson New York Times “Love” moves slowly through its languid moments, set against the backdrop of Oslo and its architecture. There’s a loveliness to every scene, quiet urban beauty that leaves space for the audience’s contemplation. May 15, 2025 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News The concept of two gay men from different generations discussing their differences, particularly around AIDS, is a bit overdone, but “Love” pulls it off beautifully. This scene is the film’s heart. May 15, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Profound and genuinely heartfelt. Like Eric Rohmer and Ingmar Bergman, Haugerud knows how to find the Spectacle within the Truth. May 12, 2025 Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo A dialectical film about empathy and afection where the romantic love does not work any more. Really interesting.
