Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzTo say the love story was hard to believe, is putting it mildly--it was impossible to fathom.
San Diego Metropolitan - 9/10 by Jean LowerisonAnnoying as it is in some ways, is worth seeing for Brody's performance alone.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Cliffordso damn weird in refusing to go where one expects that it maintains interest - too bad it missed a chance at last minute redemption with a satisfying conclusion
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertNot perfect; a vice cop played by Pam Grier is oddly conceived and unlikely in action, and the movie doesn't seem to know how to end. But as character studies of Jack and Claire, it is daring and inventive, and worthy of comparison with the films of a French master of criminal psychology like Jean-Pierre Melville.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Robin Clifford"Love the Hard Way" looks low budget and any box office will be made from those interested in seeing Brody in his post "Pianist" role...
New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenLoses tension (and ultimately credibility) as it wanders through three possible endings before grinding to a halt.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by J.R. JonesTheir relationship is so subtly inflected with fear, envy, and self-loathing on both sides of the class divide that I was drawn in nonetheless. Brody is a compelling presence throughout.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Nathan RabinBrody's Oscar victory and newfound star power might have secured Love The Hard Way its theatrical release, but his depth and charisma are what make the film haunting and surprisingly resonant.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Annlee EllingsonSehr accurately captures new love -- at its mildest distracting, at its harshest destructive.
L.A. Weekly - 6/10 by Hazel-Dawn DumpertThe pair have little chemistry: Ayanna is a lovely girl with a sweet smile and a fine pout, but she simply can't match the soul shining from Brody's big brown windows.
