While it's clear that the film aspires to be a thought-provoking and enigmatic thriller, it falls short of delivering a narrative that justifies its extended runtime.

Rated: 5/10

Cinemacy

This relationship-based drama captures not only the timeless beauty of all living things but also the mysterious possibilities of a life beyond Earthly existence.

Esme, My Love is long on atmosphere and ambiguity, its shifting moods bolstered by the cinematography of Fletcher Wolfe and the music of Stephanie Griffin and Charlotte Littlehales.

Eye for Film

For a low budget film shot in the woods, Esme, My Love, looks very impressive.

I really enjoyed this movie. I was looking for something slow, fresh, and modern that would keep me glued to my seat. And this movie delivered.

This movie had such an ominous feel to it that I found myself unable to look away. The actors were stellar. Stacey Weckstein is new to me, but after her fantastic performance, she's definitely upped her star power. I was sucked in and on board for watching her every move. Audrey Grace Marshall was perfect as well. At 14, she's older than I thought she was, having me assuming that Esme might be 9 or 10. Overall, the movie was a bit unclear on some things—I'd have liked more lucid explanations such as the fact that the daughter was terminally ill, or to know the significance of why certain people/beings were appearing at different times—but other than that, my attention was held rapt the entire 1 hour 45 minutes. I look forward to watching these two actresses starring in many more roles.

A subtly nuanced feast for the eyes, the mind and the soul. A psychological thriller which draws you in and carries you all the way to the last scene, truly a must see film.

Visually and aurally lush. Suspenseful without gore, which made it thought-provoking as opposed to just a scream-fest
