Leave your thoughts about Love, Gilda.
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsA fond tribute to a much-beloved comedy icon! |
| Original-CinKim HughesIt’s hard to imagine anyone who enjoyed Radner’s performances in their lifetime not finding much to love about Love, Gilda… even as our hearts break a little at what might have been had she lived longer. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThanks to Radner’s letters, diaries and autobiography, director Lisa D’Apolito is able to tell us, with great immediacy, what Radner’s thoughts were at the time. We come away with the portrait of someone who was never just going along for the ride, but who was always questioning and challenging herself, working toward professional excellence and hoping for an ideal romance. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaAs a love letter to a talented and endearing soul, it's hard to fault Love, Gilda. Like its subject, it feels remarkably honest and genuine. |
| Consequence of SoundClint WorthingtonWhether the result of the film’s brisk 90-minute runtime, or a lack of desire to investigate some of its subject’s greater desires and fears, Love, Gilda feels breezy to a fault. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongTalk about a brief, shining light that lingers on. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgLove Gilda is one of those documentaries that will make you laugh, touch your heart, and inspire to make the most of your life without fear. |

| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderTo D'Apolito's credit, her film doesn't dwell on the sadness. Rather, it's a celebration of a performer who revolutionized comedy and inspired future generations. |
| New York TimesJason ZinomanLove, Gilda is a very affectionate reminder of her brief and brilliant career, a heartfelt love letter whose title might be more accurate without the comma. |
