      Neve Campbell bares all in this seemingly misogynistic trifle.

      Audience Member First half is quite entertaining, but then the vapid sex scenes. And then the second half goes downhill. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I am not sure why the film is reviewed so negatively by many sites, including JR, who I understand not to be always good. But why? When just by watching the cross-cut editing and listening to the hypnotic film score, you could have easily fallen in love with it. Certainly not a 'great' film in the traditional sense, but based on how well-orchestrated (and how sly) it is, When Will I Be Loved deserves more widespread recognition. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Meh. I wasn't shocked when I heard this was made in twelve days. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review don s There was no point to this movie. Neve Campbell is quite good here, which is the only positive I can give. The movie begins chaotically and never gets on track. Circumstances happen without thought put into them giving a randomness that borders on incoherence. The characters are like crepe paper, thin and wrinkly but without much substance. Actors (Karen Allen, Lori Singer) are wasted; brought in for a few minutes and trotted back out. Drivel. 1/2 star extra for the 2 gratuitous Campbell shower scenes. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The slapdash plot, paper-thin characters, misogynist undertones, and mechanical crosscutting are all soft-core standbys. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review dave j Tuesday, April 10, 2012 (2004) When Will I Be Loved DRAMA A low budget indie film, I'm incapable to understand the corralation if there is one but as far as I can see this film is very basic that could've been explained in a 45 minute drama show which centers on shallow Neve Campbell being associated with two time loser of a boyfriend leading to the unevitable! (Spoilers) The ending had the boyfriend punching this old guy to the ground which killed him because of a where he hit his head as a result of a punch, forcing Neve to call the police to take his boyfriend away was very robotic! 1 out of 4 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The slapdash plot, paper-thin characters, misogynist undertones, and mechanical crosscutting are all soft-core standbys. Feb 12, 2008 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Not in the foreseeable future, that's when, assuming your name is James Toback and you insist on making phonily provocative movies. Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Matthew Leyland BBC.com If you're looking for something hip, brisk and sexy, then this is a pretty decent proposal. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Superficial, cynical and irritating dramedy about hustling Big Apple dwellers trying to score sex or make a fast buck or live a hedonist amoral life. Rated: C+ Feb 19, 2013 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Many viewers will be turned off by this depraved look inside the darkest corners of one filmmaker's psyche, but I found it refreshing and quite daring. Rated: 3/4 May 26, 2006 Full Review Christopher Zinsli Film Threat Too pointless to be artsy and too decorous to be sexy. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
