Vera is a femme fatale for the 21st century; a beautiful, capricious young woman living in New York whom begins exploring the limits of her sexual and intellectual power. She picks up men on the street and has sex with them in her apartment. She also videotapes a sexual romp with a female lover, and has sexually frank discussions with her potential employer. As the daughter of wealthy, indulgent parents, Vera seems to be improvising her way through the beginning of her life as an adult. Her boyfriend, Ford, is a fast-talking hustler prepared to do anything to make a buck. Aware of Vera's promiscuity, Ford sees a chance to make big money when he meets an aging Italian media mogul, named Count Tommaso, who is enamored of Vera because of her sexuality, her intelligence, and what he perceives as her naiveté. Ford cooks up an idea to pimp Vera out to the Count for $100,000, easy money, if he can only talk Vera into it. Incredibly, she agrees. Everything appears to be going even better than planned. But both men have gravely underestimated Vera, who has an agenda of her own. Ford and the Count unwittingly play right into her hands, and when her plan of deception and manipulation comes to fruition, the results are staggering.
Leave your thoughts about When Will I Be Loved.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertCampbell's performance is carnal, verbally facile, physically uninhibited and charged with intelligence. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumSlapdash plot, paper-thin characters, misogynist undertones, and mechanical crosscutting are all soft-core standbys. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSuperficial, cynical and irritating dramedy about hustling Big Apple dwellers trying to score sex or make a fast buck or live a hedonist amoral life. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanCollapses under the weight of its own pretension, a victim of misogyny trying to pass itself off as female sexual empowerment. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie morphs into a deconstructed remake of "Indecent Exposure" and it's downright riveting, with Campbell doing her best acting to date. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyNaked Neve Campbell gets painstakingly clean in one of the most beautiful showers I have ever seen. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenEffectively shows us how women can make putty out of men. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperNeve Campbell is amazing in this film to be able to handle that dialogue. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourToback's been known to get windy and heavy-handed with a setup like this. His films tend to get sticky from their overheated yearnings. Yet When Will I Be Loved has a surprisingly airy feel compared to his previous work. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasFar from a complete success: It takes too long to get to its central premise and, once there, too often meanders away from it. But Campbell is close to astonishing whenever she's onscreen. |
