Devastated by Stuart's death, his brother-in-law, lover and best friend decide to take their lives in hand. Dan is a faithful and loving father and husband, until the day he meets Corinne. This buxom and sublime Frenchwoman seduces Dan with her honesty and hedonism, so much so that he wonders if he hasn't missed out on life. Nick, a homosexual restaurant owner, begins a relationship with a high-spirited young woman right after losing his lover, Stuart. When their apparently innocent relationship takes a more intimate turn, Nick is troubled by his feelings for his female comrade. Tim, carefree and charismatic, comes home after eight years abroad. Still looking for that "elusive something" that has been missing in his life, Tim finds it in a woman who works in a fashion boutique. But confronted with his future for the first time, the only thing that stands in the way is this unknown woman's past.
Leave your thoughts about Lawless Heart.
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiWould perhaps make a watchable pilot for a drama series. As a feature film, it's dull. |
| Chicago TribuneRobert K. ElderSo well crafted, so original, that each overlapping scene swells with new life and interpretation. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberA modern and mature story about love and loving, a film as intelligent as it is charming. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe thread that winds through their stories is love lost and connections found, but only the audience is able to weave it into something to keep. |
| Las Vegas CityLifeMatt KelemenSubtle in its use of cause and effect, Lawless Heart is a light-hearted study of relationships and regret, of last chances and lessons in love. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelLaura KellyNever shouts out its emotional explorations. Instead, it employs a soft, secure voice, and the viewer is lulled even more by the authentic, unadorned performances of a strong ensemble. |
| OregonianShawn LevyWorking toward its refreshingly light but utterly apt ending, the film teems with insights into the human condition revealed by an unusually smart script and a wonderfully committed cast. It's a truly fine work. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe purpose of the movie is perhaps to show us, in a quietly amusing way, that while we travel down our own lifelines, seeing everything from our own points of view, we hardly suspect the secrets of the lives we intersect with. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranCharming, disarming and in some ways humbling film. |
| indieWireBrandon JudellIt has the emotional wallop of a Mike Leigh offering and the acute intelligence of an early John Schlesinger effort. This is a film about learning how to seize the day. And this is a film that does just that. |
