Leave your thoughts about Big Bad Love.
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekIt's made with an accurate and loving, but also wary and squinty-eyed, view of the South. If only the movie hung together better overall. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid Hunter[F]rom the performances and the cinematography to the outstanding soundtrack and unconventional narrative, the film is blazingly alive and admirable on many levels. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippThe quirks and eccentric touches of the writing wind up being self-indulgent and just plain annoying on the screen, leading to a seat-squirming experience of mythic proportions. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThe cast is so oddly interesting you wish you could see them doing something less wasteful |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonA flawed effort at best, but intriguing nonetheless. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisUnfortunately, Big Bad Love, for all its undeniably good anti-mainstream intentions, fails to come off even as the cutting-edge manifestation it tries so strenuously to be. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis ambitious drama about a Vietnam vet trying to create fiction out of his troubled life and former marriage (to Debra Winger) is messy, rambling, and overlong. |
| Film Journal InternationalKevin LallyHoward and his co-stars all give committed performances, but they're often undone by Howard's self-conscious attempts to find a 'literary' filmmaking style to match his subject. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinIts pleasures are ... sharp and not to everyone's taste |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt's the film's languid, woozy feel that draws you in and keeps you there, stuck like a moth in a killing jar redolent of Old Grandad. |
