Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Vaguely interesting for causing controversy at the time, this tacky tale of illicit teenage romance hasn't aged particularly well.

Radio Times
Rating: 4/10 --
A potentially interesting story of obsessive teenage love is sabotaged by some laughably absurd overplotting.

Rating: 2/4 --
The movie as a whole does not understand the particular strengths of the novel that inspired it, does not convince us it understands adolescent love, does not seem to know its characters very well, and is a narrative and logical mess.

Chicago Sun-Times
...Strong performances....Hewitt is always believable and never flinches in the face of the extreme emotional demands...
Variety
The story is incoherent and wildly gratuitous. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
A Cotton-candy rendition of Scott Spencer's powerful novel, Endless Love is a manipulative tale of a doomed romance which careens repeatedly between the credible and the ridiculous.

Variety
Anyone unfamiliar with the story of Scott Spencer's novel is bound to be mystified by Franco Zeffirelli's latest film, which reduces Endless Love to a whimperingly latter-day Romeo and Juliet with a little pyromania thrown in.

Product Description:
Based on the best selling novel by Scott Spencer, this is an erotic, passion-soaked drama starring Brooke Shields as the obsession of boyfriend next-door Martin Hewitt. Their young love is so overwhelming that it starts to concern Brooke's parents, who try to separate them. The distraught boyfriend ends up setting Brooke's house on fire and is never allowed to see her again. It's a terrible thing, this flame of youthful passion, but each flicker is perfectly captured by director Franco Zeffirelli's operatic eye.
