Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It’s a solid, sensitively handled study of the aftermath of a trauma, elevated by tricky, unexpected revelations about Park. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2023 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times It mixes the mundane with the inexplicable, and empathy with alienation, to nuanced, if never fully stirring effect. Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com [Kōji Fukada] leaves them and the audience on an uncertain note, contemplating what might come next Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review William Stottor FILMHOUNDS Magazine Fukada's latest is a haunting, spellbinding depiction of severe, inescapable grief. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Koji Fukada’s Love Life is a Japanese family melodrama with decent performances but also inconsistent moments that leave you feeling a little cold. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com While some situations are perhaps a bit forced, they still don't make a dent on a film who's effect is a kick in the soul, a blow to the heart.
