I have been waiting for this gem of a movie to be released since I saw it this summer in my NYU Movies 101 class. I loved it and have recommended to many people with whom I feel it will deeply resonate. The performances of Landau and Burstyn were exceptional. Banks and Scott also gave sincere supportive performances.
I saw Lovely Still, in Orinda, California on April 25, 2010 the California Independent Film Festival had done a great job in putting this movie as the final curtain call to end the Festival. The California Independent Film Festival started April 22, and ended on April 25, 2010 and as a Volunteer and a Sponsor I was very happy to see such a beautiful show. I highly recommend for everyone to see
I want to know where I can purchase this movie I saw it at the Toronto Film Festival and have been looking for it ever since. marymmcfd@aol.com
Saw a preview of this movie recently--although is was billed as a "romantic comedy" it was not a comedy at all. In fact it was really sad (especially the last third of the movie)! The acting was really wonderful--award winning! Most of the people in the preview audience agreed that this movie should definately not be billed as a comedy.

The surprise twist brutally defies the opening narration and plot logic that preceded it, alienating viewers who willingly suspended disbelief. Full Review

It's a tired genre, one that would be greatly improved if, ironically, far younger actors showed the energy and command these two old hands do. Full Review

A haunting duet for two great actors who haven't lost a step and have gained the most exquisite lyricism. Full Review

While all four leads deserve better, it's especially galling to see Burstyn - still so lovely - wasting her time and talents on a film with so little wisdom to share. Full Review

Call Lovely, Still life-affirming if you must, but its uplift is designed less to reassure than to honor the difficult process of how we deal when faced with the loss of those we have loved. Full Review
