David Ehrlich Time Out 03/17/2015
1/5
As one of the film's many forgettable characters so eloquently puts it, "This stinks worse than an oyster's fart." Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 03/12/2015
There's a veil of artifice clinging to every aspect of "The Lovers," a thoroughly unconvincing time-traveling epic costume drama pairing a miscast Josh Hartnett and Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu. Go to Full Review Graham Fuller New York Daily News 03/12/2015
3/5
Suckers for romance likely won't complain, but this Josh Hartnett time-travel epic is nuts. Go to Full Review Emine Yildirim Today's Zaman (Turkey) 02/29/2016
If you're aching to see a tragic tearjerker romance, then the only tears you will shed will be of frustration. Go to Full Review Dan Mecca The Film Stage 02/23/2016
C
A slew of half-baked characters and a derivative, white-man-in-a-foreign-land plot line make it hard to recommend, despite a handful of inspired moments. Go to Full Review Shawn Hazelett Under the Radar 03/28/2015
2.5/10
Joffe seems well aware that this is a story not worth telling ... the filmmaking is so hopelessly uninspired that Hartnett's Scottish accent is somehow not its most glaring flaw. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/22/2020 Good time travel movie. Released in the UK as the Time Traveller. 2020 and 1778 India. With a magical ring spanning time and space. See more 03/22/2020 Good time travel movie. Set in 2020. And 1778 India. Was on Amazon Prime. See more 03/22/2020 Okish time travel drama set in 2020 and 1778 India. With a magical ring. See more uncle p 02/02/2020 Story/Screenplay: (2.5/5) A complex romance drama that bridges time. Would have been better if they just localized the events to the 1700's. Duration/Tempo: (3.5/5) At 1 hour and 49 minutes, it's an average length movie that felt about the same. Not bad. Cast & Crew: (3/5) Josh Hartnett performed well. Summary: (2.5/5) The concept of love spanning time is not new to film, but it fails in this movie. See more 02/08/2019 The lovers is a confusing mess of a film. The movie tries to put its heart in the right place but the movie comes off too confusing, poorly paced, with a very cheesy set design. I’m sure the ambitions of the project were a lot bigger than what finally is on screen. See more 02/08/2019 The lovers is a confusing mess of a film.
