Brent Simon AV Club A glossy, toothless idealization of older teenage awakening made for younger, less discerning adolescent audiences that, even within that stipulated realm, falls considerably short. Rated: C- Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times The conscious callowness is agreeable, but it lacks freshness, like a midnight pasta reheated in the microwave. Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies “Love & Gelato” can be the film to watch when you want to escape the drudgery of everyday life, though it can be too sweet for one’s taste. Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Natasha Alvar Cultured Vultures You're better off eating some gelato than watching this movie. At least you'll get more enjoyment from that. Rated: 3/10 Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net If you are in the mood to be swept away to Rome with a story of young love check this one out. Rated: 6/10 Jun 24, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider There’s a smallish deal made in Love and Gelato about the secret ingredient of Lorenzo’s gelato. If it ain’t in the title of the movie, I’ll eat my shoe. Or worse, I’ll watch it again. Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Andy B We loved movie. The premise is set up early , an easy watch. Could've been pedestrian. But nice touches , location (superb) cinema photography and surprising soundtrack ( forever young!). Good performances. Nice watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Raquel L Eu achei bem bacana. É um romance adolescente, estilo que realmente não me atrai. O que me atraiu foram as incontáveis cenas pela Itália (quase no filme inteiro) que são de tirar o fôlego, e o fato de que há uma história no pano de fundo por trás do romance da garota protagonista, e esta história foi mostrada de forma muito bonita. Enfim, apesar das baixas notas, eu - já com 42 dos anos de idade e bem longe de romances adolescentes - gostei. P.S.: a relação adolescente é mostrada - o que forma a história do romance principal, porém sempre com a interação de adultos ao redor, o que forma algo mais profundo, sutil e muito bonito; e é essa colaboração da garota com os adultos ao lado que na verdade forma o motivo da viagem da protagonista nos primeiros minutos da trama à Itália. (não é spoiler) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Audience Member O filme é mal feito. O desenvolvimento dele é desorganizado e confuso, as passagens de cena acontecem rápido demais e você não tem nem tempo de processar direito o que está acontecendo, ou tem tempo suficiente para simpatizar com os demais personagens. Para mim, não foi um filme proveitoso, eu desisti no meio pra variar Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member PIOR FILME QUE JÁ ASSISTI NA MINHA VIDA MEU DEUS QUE LIXO Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member meh; this is not a good movie. cheese factor is off the charts & acting is not natural, but it's cute enough to pass the time i guess. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Since when do writers believe that portraying young women as unable to eat spaghetti, eat pastry or drink wine without looking like pigs at the trough is somehow desirable? The visual queue's in this film scream "look I'm a boor just like the boys". Would be nice to see teens portrayed as smart, educated and refined for a change.
