Leave your thoughts about Lovesong.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLovesong is a character study of this relationship, casually yet carefully sketched out by Kim in subtle but meaningful gestures and glances. Much is communicated through the eyes, searching for answers in the void of what’s not said, but felt. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkLovesong is a rare film of mature, emotional complexity anchored by two remarkable and beautiful performances. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaDirector and co-writer So Yong Kim achieves a delicate, naturalistic tone both visually (many scenic outdoor settings involving rain, bodies of water or both) and melodically (a mostly soothing heart-fluttery soundtrack) that is underlined by handheld camera close-ups. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardSo Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women. |
| indieWireKate ErblandWhile Lovesong fails to coalesce, Malone and Keough emerge with two of their best performances yet, bolstered by an on-screen bond that deserves far richer material that what is offered up here. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoEvery bit as elegant and beautiful as its title implies, yet so much more complex. |
| Movie TalkJason BestThere's nothing clear-cut about Sarah and Mindy's feelings for one another and Lovesong conveys the complexity of their emotions with tenderness and restraint. |
| Austin American-StatesmanMatt ShiverdeckerI think it's [So Yong Kim's] strongest picture yet and proof that even with a small budget, the right casting decisions can take a project from good to great. |
| El antepenúltimo mohicanoJosé MartínA great little film, in which Riley Keough and Jena Malone before respond with a heartfelt performance. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Film InquiryEmily WheelerSo Yong Kim's Lovesong is a minimalist, strikingly formed small-scale drama about two female friends slowly falling in love. |
