Lovesong makes a virtue of restraint as it traces a complex emotional history in two parts, and innumerable (and sometimes quite literal) shades of gray. Read full review

Director and co-writer So Yong Kim achieves a delicate, naturalistic tone both visually (many scenic outdoor settings involving rain, bodies of water or both) and melodically (a mostly soothing heart-fluttery soundtrack) that is underlined by handheld camera close-ups. Read full review

So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women. Read full review

Very good chemistry between the actresses, that's helpful due to the fact that their characters never felt convincing.

Riley Keough and Jena Malone are solid in the indie arena, but this movie didn't make a big impression on me, but it was ok.
