Rising Hollywood star Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi) is on the verge of a psychological breakdown. With the mounting attention has come mounting pressure, and everywhere he looks it seems like someone wants a piece of him. To make matters worse, his marriage to fellow actor Mia Lang (Franka Potente) has gone sour. After Evans receives an unusual fan letter, he grows increasingly concerned that its author -- bearded video store clerk John (Joshua Jackson) -- has begun stalking him.

New York Post

At last, Adam Goldberg has given us his 8 1/2. It's an ambitious rumination on fame, reality, love, loss and regret that falls so far short, he should have called it 2 1/8.

Rated: .5/4

New York Daily News

Working with a self-consciously urgent, neo-noir style, Goldberg seems intent on expressing a meaningful message of some kind. It's too bad, then, that he has chosen such a shallow subject.

Directed by the young actor Adam Goldberg, "I Love Your Work is an attempt to say something interesting about modern celebrity.

Paste Magazine

It's an intriguing mish-mash, a meta-textual stew that Goldberg, unfortunately, paints with a big, thick brush and then underlines with fat charcoal pencils.

Rated: 2.5/5

So many questions are raised from both sides of the celebrity fence that the film could only have been made by someone as on-the-edge of stardom as [Goldberg].

It's too busy trying to be clever that it forgets to give us anything that's actually interesting.

Superb. Giovanni Ribisi‘s performance is spellbinding. The negative critiques are hard to understand. Yes, it's not easy to follow. But really, how easy must cinema be?

I Love Your Work, deuxième film d'Adam Goldberg, se veut étrange, fascinant et original. Il parvient quasiment à ses fins. Etrange, original et parfois fascinant, cette histoire de starification, de stalker et d'un type qui devient totalement fou joué par un excellent Giovanni Ribisi n'est pourtant pas vraiment un bon film. Adam Goldberg ne se refuse rien, aucune digression mais n'est pas Full Frontal qui veut. On se retrouve souvent devant un assemblage de scènes qui n'ont pas grand chose à raconter et qui font partie d'un ensemble chaotique tournant trop vite à vide. C'est dommage car Vince Vaughn, Christina Ricci ou encore Frank Potente y livrent des performances remarquables.

The mostly lazy of screenwriting. Young actor is bothered by his fame and people recognizing him until it serves his own ends and then wields it like a weapon. YAWN.. It's like any hack movie that set in California, with characters who are actors or writers.. yes write about what you know.. so learn something and show it don't trot out the same old wank about how hard life is when you are famous. The cast, with some fine actors, drown in a sea of nothingness and can only have appeared because of the director. Uninteresting shot and low on budget and just about every other score.

Never really engaged my interest; it was a trial to get through, and in the end, I didn't really like anything about it.
