Leave your thoughts about Loving Highsmith.
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanIt is tempting to want people to be one thing or the other: the murderer or the victim. This film reminds us: Highsmith was both. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaIt is, above all else, a fascinating window into the personal and creative life of a queer woman constantly rebelling against the restrictive social norms of her time while trying to decipher what kind of person she is herself. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyEva Vitija’s documentary is lean and lucid and even at 84 minutes never feels hurried. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyIn its fine balance of emotional and intellectual curiosity, and its elegant assembly of a rich archive of home movies, photographs and interviews, this film unpacks those memories with beguiling candor |
| IndieWireJude DryAs seen through the eyes of her former lovers (merely a few of many), Highsmith’s life is brought sharply into focus, revealing as much about her humanity as her work. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievLoving Highsmith is about loving Highsmith and all that implies. As such, it gets the job done perfectly. |
| TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanWe learn in the documentary Loving Highsmith that the author herself knew plenty about the duality that defined so many of her characters. |
| The Observer (UK)Xan BrooksIt’s a thorough, measured, often illuminating portrait, aided by readings from Highsmith’s unpublished diaries and interviews with her ex-lovers. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLoving Highsmith is a well-intentioned effort; a respectable start. But perhaps a more definitive and dimensional documentary — or even narrative feature — about this singularly intriguing talent will still be made. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayUltimately, “Loving Highsmith” provides a valuable addition to the larger record of the author’s enigmatic life, rather than a comprehensive chronicle itself. Which might be altogether fitting for a woman who always seemed to prefer to remain just out of reach. |
