Leave your thoughts about Loggerheads.
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanIt's a gentle look at people who cut themselves off from others and realize consequences too late. If Southern Baptists believed in karma, this would be their touchstone. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSteve MurrayDespite a meandering tone, Loggerheads is consistently watchable thanks to committed actors playing recognizable, decent folks just trying to do the right thing -- or rectify mistakes of the past. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanLoggerheads has the best qualities of independent filmmaking. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottA chamber piece of subtle touches, finely acted, the movie has time jumps that are a little confusing. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrSlow, unadorned, compassionate, and earnest, Loggerheads is a low-fi throwback to the independent films of the 1980s and '90s. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas"Loggerheads" is like a person who never raises her voice, yet somehow you know to pay attention to every word she says. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerCharacterized by an assured restraint and attention to the subtleties of human interaction. |
| Filmcritic.comDon Willmottthe kind of movie that makes you feel more like an eavesdropper than a viewer |

| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonUndeniably precious, it may make some viewers fidgety, but others will find that the reflective melancholy that overcomes both director and cast (all superb) is a sweet contagion. |
