Leave your thoughts about Tru Loved.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThere isn't really much that differentiates Tru Loved from any other low-budget indie film. It isn't unique visually and a lot of the acting is what, at best, could be called amateur. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfThe film surely means well with enormous messages of tolerance and self-esteem, but when Loved digs in with broad caricatures of homophobia and all-purpose intolerance, the movie can be a supreme chore to sit through. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasContent, bolstered by some solid performances, triumphs over form: The film is engaging, timely and courageous. |
| Chicago TribuneMaureen M. HartTru Loved is worth a look for the supporting cast alone. |
| OregonianStan HallThe movie is crummy on several levels, yet its desire to help make the world more loving and tolerant is so pure-hearted that criticizing it seems almost mean-spirited. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightWade's extremely low budget film is hampered by badly recorded dialogue and a script that tries to cram too many issues and characters in. |
| Village VoiceKristi MitsudaFluffiness aside, the film's multicultural microcosm does have a giddying effect: Tru Loved offers a utopic vision of inclusiveness you wish the world would embrace. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA straightforward record of the lecture Gore has toured for years, juiced by elaborate graphics. An excellent educational tool, picture may prove an awkward fit for theatrical distribution. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeDoes the world need yet another peppy gay self-esteem indie like Tru Loved? Probably not, though the writer and director Stewart Wade pulls this one off with heart. |
| User ReviewValerie JI saw "Tru Loved" at Outfest, and the audience LOVED it. If you're looking for dark and edgy angst, you will NOT find it here, and that's one of the reasons I'm a big fan of this movie. It manages to be light-hearted even when handling serious subjects, and funny, too (funny enough I missed some of the dialogue because of all the laughter). I've heard it described as "High School, but with a happy ending" and that seems apt. The cast ROCKS this movie, especially the lead, Najarra Townsend -- I expect to see a lot more of her. And what fun to see Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek's Lt. Uhura) on the big screen! This film isn't for those who are determined cynics, as they're unlikely to be open-hearted enough to let this movie speak to them, but for everyone else -- those who enjoy knowing there's still a little idealism possible in the world -- the intelligence and hope and humor will leave you smiling. |
