Critic Reviews

• Dennis Harvey, Variety

  The packaging is so intelligently resourceful that most viewers will enjoy the ride regardless of its enigmatic destination.

• Nick Setchfield, SFX Magazine

  Stealing its visual and thematic cues from the likes of Moon, Solaris and 2001, Love is an uneven but never less than intriguing trip into headspace.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  Technically proficient, good-looking - but what's the point?

• Philip French, Observer [UK]

  An enterprising, depressive sci-fi movie in the meditative mode of La Jetée, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris.

• Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

  It almost works.

• Ashley Clark, Little White Lies

  Has ideas, but ideas alone do not a successful movie make.

• Jennifer Tate, ViewLondon

  A fine example of budget filmmaking with this beautifully shot and thought provoking Sci-Fi tale of loss, isolation and loneliness ...

• Kim Newman, Empire Magazine

  Wildly ambitious, Eubank's sci-fi often hits the mark.

• Tim Martain, The Mercury

  At about the two-thirds mark, the film starts to wander off on its own, seemingly without really caring if the audience is following along or not.

• Peter Galvin, sbs.com.au

  Love is beautiful and lovely and as remote as a distant star.

• Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald

  Eubank is not strong on literal explanations - or on the science underpinning his story. He is an impressionist, alert to the waves of nostalgia that can be unleashed by a single visual metaphor.

• Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia)

  Eubank may well have a future as a cinematographer, or in the special effects business. But a filmmaker he ain't.

• Danny Murphy, Empire Magazine Australasia

  Impressionistic, DIY sci-fi suffers from a lack of cohesion but is a finely crafted debut from a gifted director.

• Travis Johnson, FILMINK (Australia)

  Eubank has a practised control of the frame, and an understanding of form that makes this micro-budget feature punch well above its weight.

• Simon Kinnear, Total Film

  Somehow - for only $500,000, using a set he built in his parents' yard - Eubank has fashioned an avant-garde Moon, harnessing greater ambition and technical flair than most mega-budget hype magnets.
