The Face of Love's story runs and blotches like cheap mascara.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

Many are going to find the plot questionable and the protagonist's actions deplorable. But for those who've experienced loss and grief that seems irreparable, it is a film that will strike a deep and melancholy chord.

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Fresh

Old age, romance, grief, delusion and desperation all intersect in "The Face of Love," a far-fetched tale that nevertheless manages to be affecting.

Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten

What's mesmerizing here is what happens in Bening's eyes, in her complicated smiles, in her eloquent quiet.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

Bening and Harris are great actors, and they fill their roles as completely as they can, given the limitations of the soggy and implausible script by Matthew McDuffie and director Arie Posin.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
