A film in which the camera's point of view never changes can start to feel claustrophobic. But the originality of the concept and the quality of the performances help to compensate.

The last few minutes of this movie are strangely moving. What leads up to them is shot through with dark humor and scathing satire.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

Thomas In Love never develops beyond an interesting exercise in style over story.
Norman Wilner, Toronto Star

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

It duplicates Thomas' miserable world so well we want to escape it as urgently as Thomas does.
