Leave your thoughts about Love and Death on Long Island.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittHurt gives an astonishingly sensitive and funny performance as the bedazzled intellectual, and first-time filmmaker Kwietniowski unfolds the story with an unfailing blend of humor and compassion. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA highly original Death in Venice-scented comedy drama written and directed with flair by British feature novice Richard Kwietniowski. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWithout John Hurt's magnificent performance, this film would have fallen flat on its face. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumA witty, canny meditation on the power of pop culture in general and the rationalizations of cinephilia and film criticism in particular. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLove and Death on Long Island is sharp, sophisticated and completely delicious, a purposeful comedy that focuses on the power of screen images to uproot lives and the poignancy of amour fou, totally mad love. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David DenbyWriter-director Richard Kwietniowski has never made a feature before, but this debut effort is a triumph, a buoyant and elegant achievement -- romantic and ruminative yet always precise, a comedy of longing propelled by a strong current of satirical observation. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsAn unpredictable, often funny, always winning film, Love And Death On Long Island is filled with low-key humor and sharp observations about the state of art at the close of the millennium. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...a slight film, but it's extremely well-acted and darkly funny. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThese opening scenes of Love and Death on Long Island are funny and touching, and Hurt brings a dignity to Giles De'Ath that transcends any snickering amusement at his infatuation. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe first-time writer-director, Englishman Richard Kwietniowski, has adapted Gilbert Adair's novel with wit, economy and a delicate understanding that the funniest comedies are played with dead seriousness. |
