She Is Love is an improvised film that quickly becomes muddled. The conversations feel real but, at the same time, aren’t seamless or captivating. The lack of structure in the narrative means what sounds like a curious premise is flimsy

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

One of the more insufferable and pointless exercises in the era of pandemic cinema with actors desperately trying to find the story.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 31, 2023

The romantic film seems improbable.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 26, 2023

Those looking for their next easy romance flick will find it here.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 27, 2023

'She Is Love' finds Sam Riley and Haley Bennett struggling to make this tried and tested formula work. Writer and director Jamie Adams tries to make too little go a long way, which makes the viewing experience almost tedious at times.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 23, 2023

Awkward chit-chat gives way to heavy soul-searching, and it all looks a bit too much like an actors’ improv workshop.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2023

She Is Love is a hard film to love with the lack of conditions it begs of Patricia and Idris, but its lead performances grant the film small moments of incandescence.

| Feb 13, 2023

Its improvised nature results in a casual, naturalistic tone, which is emphasized by the loose camerawork and sparse lighting. And although not all the characters are equally interesting, the cast is good enough to stand out. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2023

For a title as enchanting as She Is Love, I expected to be swept off my feet by a love story. Alas, it was not to be, everything feels too random and aimless despite the actors’ best efforts.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 9, 2023

On the whole, She is Love has some amusing and heartfelt moments, but there is a lacking with the storytelling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 8, 2023

Everything about the rambling drama She Is Love looks like an improvisational sketch that was dragged into an unnecessary and tedious movie. The cast members are talented, but the characters they play are empty and annoying.

| Feb 7, 2023

A totally improbable scenario is hardly rare for a romantic film, but it’s harder to look past when characters are so thinly drawn. Pleasant enough but instantly forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2023

It's nicely shot too, with a closing-reel uplift that's all the more poignant because it appears entirely imagined.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 4, 2023

In general, I tend to like these actors immensely, largely because they are frequently taking chances in the roles they play, and that’s certainly the case with She Is Love. That boldness doesn’t always pay off, but it wouldn’t be a risk if it did.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 3, 2023

The highly improvised film lacks much narrative momentum, feeling more slight than profound.

| Feb 3, 2023

Nothing is compelling about these characters, and Bennett and Riley have little chemistry with each other playing them.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 3, 2023

For a movie that’s ostensibly about scratching at real feelings, it comes off as phony as a perfume ad.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 3, 2023

SHE IS LOVE is never better than when past and present collide to show us everything Patricia and Idris have learned during their time apart is perhaps the result of suppressing who they were together and who they are at their core.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 3, 2023

The romantic sparks need to fly between Patricia and Idris but they are utterly bland characters. Not only is it hard to see why they would want to get back together, it’s not clear whatever attracted them to each other in the first place.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2023

She is Love just has no clear direction, and it meanders along until lost like so many experimental, freestyle films tend to do.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2023
