Village Voice

The film's a sad, gentle valediction for a young artist's dream.

Chicago Reader

The premise might remind you of John Carney's Once, but this is grittier and less sentimental, grounded in disappointment and working-class drudgery.

Love Hunter is consistently engaging, mainly thanks to its star's winning personality.

Battleship Pretension

Even at only 73 minutes, Love Hunter is indulgent. But, then, if a movie like this weren't, you'd probably ask for your money back.

Lots of bittersweet charm, but lacking some reality checks. Like hey, the American dream is currently located under the rubble of the ongoing economic crisis in progress. Not to mention how US bombs buried Serbia under rubble 16 years ago this week.

Film Journal International

All else rings true: creativity versus personal commitment, sacrifices for your art which might not pan out, the scintillating but sometimes scuzzy New York scene.

My wife and I really enjoyed this movie. It is an extremely well made independent film that has the feel and vibe of a Hollywood feature. It keeps you entertained the whole way through! Well Written, Directed, and Acted! Looking forward to the next Bala Brother's project!

Saw this movie at the NYC premiere and loved it! Very well made, good plot to which many people can relate. Funny at times but real. Based on a real life hero but not a documentary. Very engaging. One cannot help but identify with real life struggle of a man who tries to make it in NYC by following his dream and his passion. And love... well love is the hardest one of all to grasp. See it!

I saw this movie several months ago when it previewed at Soho House. It's fantastic - very well made, very "real" in a way you were interested in all the characters. It was also great to see a different side of New York.
