Enduring Love movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Though Ifans has the splashier role, Craig, last seen in Michell's previous film, 2003's equally provocative The Mother, is outstanding as a man whose philosophy cannot be reconciled with his feelings. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: A fatal lack of character development dooms Enduring Love as little more than a fleeting curiosity. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Slowly, inexorably, it ties you in knots. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Compelling but uneven drama. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: The movie's ace in the hole is Rhys Ifans, whose scraggly looks and ability to play daft make him perfect as the delusional Jed. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: This slender, increasingly monotonous stalker plot feels ludicrously overintellectualized -- full of hot air. To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a balloon is just a balloon. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: A lot of rich characters and beautifully written. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Penhall's screenplay captures the emotional isolation that grips people touched by cataclysm. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Full of hot air. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It walks the line between romantic piety and utter tastelessness, opting to be a cheap potboiler only after it's run out of ways to seem profound. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: We're conditioned as romantics to hear the first word as an adjective; but for most of the movie, it's strictly a harrowing verb. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Does a fine job of slowly racheting up the psychological tension. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Michell's achievement is all the greater in modulating the coiled reposes of his superb male leads. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Enduring Love is better in parts than as a whole. Ultimately, the film has too many jagged edges. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Expertly and with agonizing deliberateness, Michell ratchets up the tension among this appalling triangle. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Michell and company try to make you forget that Enduring Love begins, literally and figuratively, on such a high level before tumbling into the sordid Hitchcockian precincts of dangerous obsession. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Enduring Love begins with such a stunningly macabre opening scene, it's a drag that the sequence is mere set-up for a ho-hum stalker story. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Movie love is usually so idealized it ennobles behavior that ordinarily would be considered stalking. Enduring Love deliberately smudges the line between what is bizarre and what is simply human nature. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A riveting, revealing and powerful film about the surprising shades and evolving emotions of love. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Rhys Ifans plays the part of the scorned lover with neurasthenic delicacy and a spidery creepiness in this serious movie about the petty cruelties of love. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's a genuinely intriguing thriller and a mystery with a most rewarding conclusion. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Most movies remain at the top level of action: They are about what happens. A few consider the meaning of what happened, and even fewer deal with the fact that we have a choice, some of the time, about what happens and what we do about it. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: This drama about love, catastrophe and obsession raises a lot of questions but leaves it to viewers to provide most of the answers. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Well-meaning, yet listless. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: With a power that resonates, Enduring Love captures that sense of lives blown apart by a sudden gust. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: Story of an insidious stalker disrupting the lives of an intellectual London couple is handled in a bracing and distinctive manner. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: Razor-walking self-consciousness (or just plain braininess) is perhaps impossible to depict coherently on-screen, and the someone's-watching-me vibe is otherwise overfamiliar to moviegoers. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: It flutters around fitfully, still filled with air, then falls in a deflated heap in the corner. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: It's the best kind of movie: so alive in its storytelling that only in retrospect do you realize that the ideas represent a metaphysical inquiry. Read more
