Lucy and Lucien are two childhood friends who share a deeply troubled past, but they've managed to carve out a life for themselves in New York City. Lucy is an actor about to make her Off-Broadway debut, and Lucien's vying for a solo show at a prestigious art gallery. But when their cousin Matt inexplicably appears, dredging up painful shared history, Lucy and Lucien both struggle to maintain their sanity and sobriety. As their breakout moment arrives, both are forced to grapple with a legacy of childhood trauma, addiction, and loss. They must rely on their chosen family of artists and sex workers to help bring them through.

The Pink Lens

With a cast of characters from every gender, sexuality and race together, this is a veritable smorgasbord of rainbow diversity. But for all the film’s honourable intentions, these are underserved by its drearily flat execution.

Rated: 2/5

“Loud & Longing” with all its notable weaknesses just feels like a decent idea which was very poorly executed.

Rated: 5/10

For me, it’s a story of people struggling along their arduous journey of life. Though our experiences are different, the battle is the same.

Loud & Longing does its best to shine a light over relationship dynamics between old friends, lovers and long time couples, and what happens when hidden traumas finally hit the surface. The outcome may not be perfect, but it will sure leave you thinking.

Rated: 6/10

TheIndependentCritic.com

With convincing themes of resilience and the vitality of community among others, Loud & Longing is an aching and occasionally brutal film about dealing with one's past and creating one's future alongside a family of choice.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

This ultra-low-budget film tackles the darker side of chasing a dream while still being weighed down by unprocessed trauma.
