...by staying faithful to its characters-women who make, break, and alter an intimate connection-it expresses a refreshing freedom from sexual-identity dogma and narrative formula.

A character study of this relationship, casually yet carefully sketched out by Kim in subtle but meaningful gestures and glances. Much is communicated through the eyes, searching for answers in the void of what's not said, but felt.

| Mar 6, 2017

There are glances and nervous hands, longing gazes, and downcast faces needing explanation or consolation. Malone and Keough, perfectly cast and perfectly in sync as people who should be - but probably never will be - lovers, make sadness seem enticing.

Kim's latest -- like Carol made on an indie budget -- is split in two exquisite halves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2017

The overall effect is one of a disjointed love story that can never quite find the tune, no matter how skilled its players.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 17, 2017

Kim has wisely provided her two stars with enough breathing room to bring her movie to life.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2017

Little is resolved, and it will leave you contemplating the mysteries of relationships.

It just kind of sits there, passively observing its characters, perhaps in hope that the believability of the events will automatically breed drama or a thesis or a philosophy or something. It doesn't.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 16, 2017

As feelings remain unexpressed or avoided, Lovesong grows more vaporous, even as the frame becomes increasingly cluttered with minor characters ...

| Feb 14, 2017

So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 12, 2017

A delicate heartbreaker about friendship, desire and the occasionally blurred line between the two.

| Feb 3, 2016

Keough and Malone convey a palpable sense of yearning for one another ... but Kim and Bradley Rust Gray's barebones script doesn't match their efforts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2016

"Lovesong" makes a virtue of restraint as it traces a complex emotional history in two parts, and innumerable (and sometimes quite literal) shades of gray.
