Critic Reviews
-
Fred Hersch, Entertainment Weekly
Sweet Love, Bitter, a rarely seen predecessor of 'Round Midnight and Bird has a lot going for it.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
This lack of convincing motivation is the fatal weakness of the film.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Though not a success, this independent black-and-white drama... is an unusual and thoughtful effort.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Though a sincere attempt was made to depict the problems surrounding black-white relationships, the characters in the film lack definition.
