The Film Stage
Lovesong is a rare film of mature, emotional complexity anchored by two remarkable and beautiful performances. - 90
The New York Times
[An] exquisite, beautifully shot meditation on love clouded by fear and doubt. - 83
The Playlist
Lovesong is carried by the actors’ chemistry and body language. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
It’s a quiet drama, full of unspoken hurt and free of histrionics, but it’s as raw and painful as a fresh wound. - 80
Variety
Lovesong makes a virtue of restraint as it traces a complex emotional history in two parts, and innumerable (and sometimes quite literal) shades of gray. - 75
Slant Magazine
So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women. - 60
The Guardian
Keough and Malone convey a palpable sense of yearning for one another during these sequences, but Kim and Bradley Rust Gray’s barebones script doesn’t match their efforts. - 60
Village Voice
Like its central not-couple, two women tongue-tied about their desire for each other, So Yong Kim's Lovesong frustrates with its lack of articulation.
