I think it's [So Yong Kim's] strongest picture yet and proof that even with a small budget, the right casting decisions can take a project from good to great.

So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women.
October 16, 2016
There's nothing clear-cut about Sarah and Mindy's feelings for one another and Lovesong conveys the complexity of their emotions with tenderness and restraint.
February 17, 2017
A simple, though achingly insightful, story that illuminates the intense, complicated affection between girlfriends with sensitivity and restraint.

The overall effect is one of a disjointed love story that can never quite find the tune, no matter how skilled its players.
February 19, 2017
Tender, poignant and refreshingly true-to-life. Riley Keough and Jena Malone give raw performances. It's more powerful than Moonlight!
February 17, 2017
Kim has wisely provided her two stars with enough breathing room to bring her movie to life.

Discretion is the better part of boredom here.

Kim's latest -- like Carol made on an indie budget -- is split in two exquisite halves.

Little is resolved, and it will leave you contemplating the mysteries of relationships.
March 06, 2017
A character study of this relationship, casually yet carefully sketched out by Kim in subtle but meaningful gestures and glances. Much is communicated through the eyes, searching for answers in the void of what's not said, but felt.
