Critics Consensus

Roses are red, violets are blue, the ill-fated She Is Love eschews conventions but barely grants a good performance of two.

Tom Shone

Times (UK)

Awkward chit-chat gives way to heavy soul-searching, and it all looks a bit too much like an actors’ improv workshop.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

A totally improbable scenario is hardly rare for a romantic film, but it’s harder to look past when characters are so thinly drawn. Pleasant enough but instantly forgettable.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

It's nicely shot too, with a closing-reel uplift that's all the more poignant because it appears entirely imagined.

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

She Is Love is an improvised film that quickly becomes muddled. The conversations feel real but, at the same time, aren’t seamless or captivating. The lack of structure in the narrative means what sounds like a curious premise is flimsy

Rated: 2.5/5

Movie Madness Podcast

One of the more insufferable and pointless exercises in the era of pandemic cinema with actors desperately trying to find the story.

I wouldn't call this a romance. It's more like a postcard to grief. It seems like there is a lot of improv. I didn't enjoy it but I also did get something out of it. It made me feel. Had a deep nostalgic pain to it.

I've seen a lot of talk about improbability however I found this movie refreshing. I think the odds were in these characters' favor in placing them at the "right place, right time". I loved the way Adams choose to blend the maturity that comes with age with the immaturity that sometimes comes with love. The use of music in the film added to this "light" feeling despite the struggles the characters faced. I crossed my fingers at the end and the director did not disappoint by leaving it open and hopeful as is common with second chances. Beautiful, carefree film.

do we still have to be reminded that the shaky camera is a no win?
