Variety

Brazilian director Gustavo Pizzi crafts a warm and wonderfully universal love story that comes across surprisingly unconventional for something so familiar.

By Peter Debruge FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Loveling wisely avoids easy answers, and its deft mix of humor and melancholy never falters.

By Sheri Linden FULL REVIEW

TheWrap

The film is not alienating; it does not obfuscate its intentions. Pizzi knew what he wanted to make, and what he has made is a touching yarn about the pangs of familial maturation.

Screen Daily

Loveling relies on the charm of its chaotic central family (an overweight son who insists on carrying a giant tuba around with him, for example) and the warmth of Teles to seduce and dazzle audiences into submission.

By Fionnuala Halligan FULL REVIEW

The Playlist

Loveling is often awkwardly paced and unintentionally directionless, which hampers some of the tension of the most important scenes. Which is a shame, because Teles as Irene is phenomenal and some of her finest moments feel squandered.
