Leave your thoughts about A Kind of Loving.
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe acting is firm, exact and sympathetic. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlNeither Vic nor Ingrid is an especially compelling presence, but the actors make the sad moments pierce and the bursts of jubilation explode. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonI was, and still am, deeply moved by the plight of both Vic and Ingrid in their attempt to find happiness and 'a kind of loving'. |
| VarietyVariety StaffJune Ritchie makes an appealing debut as the bewildered Lancashire lass. Alan Bates is a likeable hero who will hold most audience's sympathy despite his weaknesses. |
| User ReviewKaren FI love these old 60s dramas, and this is one of the best ones. It's hard to know who to feel most sympathy for - Vic, trapped into marriage, or Ingrid, who used sex not to trap Vic, but to try to make him love her. Ingrid's mother is the final straw - and Thora Hird plays her so well. The morals may be a little dated, but the humanity of the relationships isn't. |
| User ReviewMiguel CSplendid look at a time long gone, and yet still topical. Alan Bates takes a star-making turn and earns the heart of the viewer. Thora Hird steals every scene she's in! |
| User ReviewEbba RIncredible film. Stellar writing, directing and acting. |
| User ReviewEric Bthis film just reminds me so much of my own youthful search for love and understanding. the scene where young Vic looks at his girlfriend in a cafe and realises they have nothing to say to each other is gut wrenching. A kind of loving indeed |
| User ReviewNick GIt's life just as we know it. A classic of its genre from when British films set the standard and created the blueprint for the realists that followed. |
| User Reviewa athis movie is actually inspired by my hometown of dewsbury,west yorkshire. its a very very moving and accurate portrayal of the culture of the north of england. i couldnt sleep after watching this movie. it'll change ur life...... |
