B-

The heart of its story is anchored less in the rhythms of a romantic comedy or even a romantic drama than in the belief that the day-to-day realities of being a person are worthy of being immortalized.

It also suggests that there’s a reason for the film, and the life it depicts, to feel scattered: grief is a complex thing, and you have to deal with whatever it throws at you.

3/4

Morrison puts Boston onscreen with intelligence and rare geographical logic, but she’s a Cambridge kid, so it makes sense.

2/5

For almost two hours, Love of Your Life strives to be about something – love, loss, grief, guilt, loneliness. What it ends up being about is one thing after another.

Watching this movie brought back a lot of pain from losing my son to Covid in 2021. However, it did an excellent job of portraying the feelings and emotions that come with that kind of loss. It is possible to move on and be comforted by the memories, and I just wish we had seen more of that at the end of the movie.

A ravishing reality of love and loss. Margaret Qualley is astonishingly moving as the devastated protagonist.

This movie is not what I expected. I mean that in a good way. Margaret Qualley is super gifted and so is the rest of the cast. The movie is very well done and set in some beautiful locations. Patrick Schwarzenegger is very good in this. The movie is very heavy. The COVID scenes are very painful to watch but I appreciated their intensity. The movie moved me, but I am not sure it all worked in the end for me to say I loved it.

This felt like the first romantic drama I’ve seen in quite some time to really grab my heart by the fist. Every performance and character was ripe for investment , including a surprisingly nuanced, heart-squeezing Schwarzenegger - even with limited screen time. Will definitely be a new go-to rewatch when I’m looking for an earned cry.
