- 63RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyRogerEbert.comTomris LafflyI Love America is hardly a life-changing rom-com. But it’s a good candidate for your next airplane watch.
- 60The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldMarceau beams with unshakable good vibes, like a lion in the sun, though that makes her woes feel not so woeful. But Azuelos’s film does glimpse moments that feel true to the sometimes strange complexity of emotions.
- 60Film ThreatAlex SavelievFilm ThreatAlex SavelievI Love America doesn’t delve too deeply, or at all, into things like the American dream, the implications of aging in contemporary society, cultural/generational differences, or the lasting marks one’s parents leave on their offspring. As it stands, the film is a cute little love letter to the City of Angels, bound to evaporate from your mind sooner than a meal at the In-N-Out.
- 40TheWrapSimon AbramsTheWrapSimon AbramsThe awkward transitions and clichéd merrymaking that define Lisa’s story will likewise be either more feature than bug for genre fans or just one more thing that makes Azuelos and Fierro’s narrative seem lazy and confused.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreMarceau remains an arresting screen presence, but that’s severely tested by Azuelos’ inane, meandering and trite tale of love, loss and closure, wrapped in a female wish fulfillment fantasy.
- 20The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawSophie Marceau delivers the cringe in this clunkingly bad LA dating comedy: tin-eared, cliched, unfunny and misjudged in every horribly unconvincing syllable, sadly sounding as if it has been written by someone who has never been to Los Angeles or met any human beings.
