San Francisco Chronicle

There are some unforgettable images in the film, even though the story doesn't go much of anywhere.

Rated: 2/4

Los Angeles Times

The openness of Minujn's understated, expressive portrayal lies at the core of an equally impressive film -- beautifully but unpretentiously shot and scored with spot-on supporting performances.

Rated: 4/5

Bay Area Reporter

A dark, slow, and somewhat disturbing film, A Year Without Love is also strangely compelling, at times hypnotic. I had dreams about it.

An AIDS drama with a twist, this is one of the best gay-themed films of the year.

Rated: B+
