There are some unforgettable images in the film, even though the story doesn't go much of anywhere.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

The openness of Minujin's understated, expressive portrayal lies at the core of an equally impressive film -- beautifully but unpretentiously shot and scored with spot-on supporting performances.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Distaff helmer Anahi Berneri alternates between long lenses and jarring, fragmentary close-up shots, creating an assured and forceful visual cocktail that serves grim quest well.

Eddie Cockrell, Variety

A Year Without Love isn't a sex movie (so don't expect one), but a studied examination of how one man folds jarring events into the everyday fabric of his life.

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

[The film] may whip a rather specialized audience into a frenzy. But for others, A Year Without Love will be a less pleasurably painful experience.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
