After nearly four decades together, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) finally tie the knot in an idyllic wedding ceremony in lower Manhattan. But when George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and - victims of the relentless New York City real estate market - temporarily live apart until they can find an affordable new home. While George moves in with two cops (Cheyenne Jackson and Manny Perez) who live down stairs, Ben lands in Brooklyn with his nephew (Darren Burrows), his wife (Marisa Tomei), and their temperamental teenage son (Charlie Tahan), with whom Ben shares a bunk bed. While struggling with the pain of separation, Ben and George are further challenged by the intergenerational tensions and capricious family dynamics of their new living arrangements.

Movie Reviews

The Berks-Mont News - 10/10 by Rob HumanickMolina and Lithgow are a marvelous presence, establishing such potent chemistry that it remains tangible during their long stretches apart.
RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Sheila O'MalleyIt's a courageous film that's willing to sit in those moments instead of underlining them or hurrying past them, hoping we get the shorthand. Love is Strange is a patient film. The emotions it unleashes are enormous.
Screen International - 10/10 by Anthony KaufmanIt's a mature and subtle piece of storytelling, and as delicate and lovely as the classical compositions by Frėdėric Chopin that play on the film's soundtrack.
New York Times - 10/10 by A.O. ScottBy the time the movie is over, you feel as if the people in it were friends you know well enough to tire of, and to miss terribly when they go away.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Stephanie ZacharekSachs and his performers know that the perfect marriage is a thing of phantom beauty — it doesn't exist, yet we persist in believing that someone out there must have it.
Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfLove Is Strange emerges as a total triumph for Sachs and his co-leads, John Lithgow and Alfred Molina, who, despite lengthy filmographies, turn in career-topping work. a sensitive domestic tragedy about the finite nature of any union.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeThe shot outside the subway entrance -- one lengthy long-shot, perfectly composed and set to a Chopin nocturne -- is probably the most beautiful thing I've seen in a movie all year.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Inkoo KangLove is Strange boasts an abundance of patience and kindness — but not much of a pulse.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversLove Is Strange is, above all, a triumph for Lithgow and Molina, two consummate actors who bring decades of experience to artful performances that are as emotionally expressive in silence as they are in words. Acting doesn’t get better than this. Want to know what love is? Watch Lithgow and Molina and learn.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsDo not expect dynamic filmmaking from Love Is Strange. It's about other things, and Lithgow and Molina are splendid, their eyes full of wisdom and experience.
