Sciorra's work is certainly cut out for her: Eldard, who prefers chumming around with his old high school chums, is a virtual stranger to the word "commitment." Even so, a wedding date is set, and the guests begin gathering. Will the bells peal for Sciorra, or is she in for another let-down? Hardly original material, True Love scores in its "little truths" about the characters: these are people that you and I know all too well, no matter what our social standing in life. Co-written by Nancy Savoca and her husband Richard Guay, the film won first prize at the Utah-based US Film Festival. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Nancy Savoca's first (and still best) film shows a good, sensitive ear to the lingo and subculture of this ethnic milieu, of both genders. Competing at Sudance Fest in 1989, it won the jury award for best drama.

Wesley Lovell, Apollo Guide
Comes only in a non-widescreen format, but the DVD at least also carries the film's original theatrical trailer.
-
Gil Jawetz, DVDTalk.com
Even though the story is simple, the characters aren't.

Wesley Lovell, Apollo Guide
An honest, thoughtful look at a real relationship and the various pitfalls surrounding it.
