Screen RantMae AbdulbakiFeb 3, 2025
It’s an intricate and beautifully crafted work of art that’s quietly meditative and lovingly told. Read full review

Boston GlobeOdie HendersonSep 5, 2025
The romantic love triangle dramedy “Love, Brooklyn” is more than just a visual showcase for the favorite borough of the average New York City hipster. It’s also an unabashed devotional to the interior design of the Brooklyn brownstone. Read full review

RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloAug 29, 2025
Ultimately, the spirit of “Love, Brooklyn” is tenderness. It is both a love letter and a sympathy card: an acknowledgement that growing up sometimes means letting go, embracing the changes that come with time, and that loving someone does not always mean holding on to them. Read full review

The PlaylistChase HutchinsonJan 31, 2025
Without all of the performers being completely at the top of their game, none of this would work, and it could grow tiresome rather quickly. Luckily, all of them give such refreshingly vulnerable, funny, and lived-in performances that make you more than happy to spend time with all of them. Read full review

The Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsJan 31, 2025
These people and places read more like figments of imagination, part of a borough Holder wants it to be. As such, the movie is a rough, painterly sketch, a first draft that’s easy to read, provokes warm feelings, and deserves just a little more detail. Read full review

Brooklyn has never looked lovelier than in Holder's soulful debut. Read full review

Love, Brooklyn, especially its loftier ideas, might have benefited from more of a satirical bite. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleSep 5, 2025
A tender city romance about about gentrification and Black melancholy, “Love, Brooklyn” brings together appealing actors and the charms of New York’s ever-changing borough into soft focus. It feels a little too carefully arranged to ever truly get under your skin as a modern-day affair about disillusioned hearts. Read full review

The New York TimesLisa KennedyAug 29, 2025
It has its moments — Nicole and Roger on the steps of her brownstone, for one. And it’s awfully lovely to look at (cinematography by Martim Vian). But, like its characters, it’s a little too comfortable with being betwixt and between. Read full review

ColliderMatt DonatoFeb 5, 2025
Holder's wayward romantic indie chases meaning through quiet reflections that navigate hardship somewhat cleanly. While it's a delightful representation of Brooklyn's playground, scenes flow through motions like a wandering observer. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeJan 31, 2025
The strengths of Love, Brooklyn make the weaknesses harder to shake. For every scene bursting with energy and texture, there are oddly vague moments that destabilize its hold on us. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJacob OllerJan 31, 2025
It ends up like every other three-person romantic dramedy ends up, but at least Love, Brooklyn boasts competent players going through its motions. Read full review

IndieWireEsther ZuckermanJan 31, 2025
Ultimately Holder argues that — despite gentrification — this place is still magical, except we never see any of the magic of which she speaks. We see a fantasy land, but that’s not the same thing as the true magic the city can offer. Read full review
