The Hollywood Reporter

Without pandering to audience sympathy, [Teles] creates an exceptionally sympathetic focal point for a story that embraces the messy tenderness of life as it's lived.

Variety

A warm and wonderfully universal love story that comes across surprisingly unconventional for something so familiar ...

And for diverting entertainment, without fanfare or emotive scenes, Loveling provides a welcome change from the many somber indies streaming these days.

The film stays at the same tone throughout, not needing to exaggerate situations, characters or plot. It is perfectly balanced portrayal of a normal family, just living their lives.

Rated: 4/5
