Recommandations
- 75
Chicago Sun-Times
The result is an actor's dream, a film in which the truth of almost every scene has to be excavated out of the debris of social inhibition. - 63
TV Guide Magazine
The result is a one-joke movie. - 60
The New York Times
More problematical is the tone of the film, which attempts to be both compassionate and goofy, though the events are funny only if they are seen as farcical. - 60
Washington Post
Despite its mixture of macabre slapstick and broadly stroked caricatures, the film has sleepy-time rhythms; it's easily the pokiest farce I've ever seen. - 50
Chicago Reader
Lawrence Kasdan directed this fair-to-middling black comedy from a script by John Kostmayer, and although the pacing is sluggish in spots, people with a taste for acting as impersonation will enjoy some of the scenery chewing. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Based on an allegedly true story, this is a dark comedy that begins with a charmingly light touch.... Alas, it's when the tale stays murderous, amateur night dragging into amateur day, that the picture loses both its energy and its edge. [09 Apr 1990] - 38
Rolling Stone
Kasdan has inexplicably reduced flesh-and-blood characters to cartoons. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
I Love You to Death is strenuously unclever.
