David Sterritt

The movie is a portrait, not a polemic -- but I can't imagine an attentive viewer leaving Love & Diane without increased understanding and concern with regard to inner-city life. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Riveting family portrait. Read full review

J. Hoberman

From first shot to last, Dworkin's movie is a continuously absorbing, sometimes revelatory, frequently moving experience; as documentary filmmaking it's not only amazingly intimate but also characterized by an unexpected lyricism. Read full review

Desson Thomson

It is a movie about the real challenge of heroism. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Dworkin, having led viewers so deeply into her subjects' lives, resists coercing them into any pat conclusions. We're left to wonder about Love and Diane -– and root for them -– on our own. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Janice Page
