Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Lithgow and Mr. Molina, seasoned and subtle actors, beautifully capture the small pleasures and petty irritations Ben and George live through, and also their pride at having survived, together, for so long.
New York Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Without the usual bull and spackled-on sentiment, it hits you like a shot in the heart.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
Molina and Lithgow are both superb: two crusty romantics searching for crumbs in a world, however well-meaning, that is too busy for love unless it comes tidy, manageable and vexation-free.

Financial Times
A common adage about great screen acting is that it’s less about doing than being. Alfred Molina and John Lithgow provide a master class in that subtle, sublime endeavor in LOVE IS STRANGE.
Washington Post
As dire as things become, there's an elegance to the way it all unfolds with cinematographer Christos Voudouris making New York feel as loosely comfortable as he made Greece appear in "Before Midnight".

Moveable Fest
Rating: 4/5 --
Love is strange and so is this movie, but in a good way. It's so low key that you barely notice when big things are happening.

Sydney Morning Herald
3 stars out of 4 -- Love may be weird, complicated and uncertain, but it is also wondrous. LOVE IS STRANGE makes that case with a remarkable blend of tenderness, wit and intelligence.

Product Description:
A committed gay couple find their fledgling marriage challenged by a series of unexpected developments in this compassionate drama from writer/director Ira Sachs (MARRIED LIFE, KEEP THE LIGHTS ON). Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) have been together for nearly 40 years. When gay marriage becomes legal in New York, the happy couple decide that it's finally time to tie the knot, and declare their love for one another in front of family and friends. Although the ceremony is everything Ben and George ever could have hoped for, the happy couple's newlywed bliss is sadly short-lived when the diocese receives word of the wedding, and George is fired from his job as a music teacher at a local Catholic school. As a result, the pair are no longer able to afford the rent on the New York City apartment they've shared for two decades. In order to remain in the city while searching for a job, George moves in with his sympathetic neighbors, a pair of gay policemen (Manny Perez and Cheyenne Jackson). Meanwhile, Ben attempts to make the best of the situation by moving in with his nephew's family in Brooklyn. Now, as the big event that should have brought Ben and George closer together leads only to loneliness and frustration, everyone involved finds their once-comfortable lives in a hopeless state of flux. Marisa Tomei, Darren E. Burrows, and Charlie Tahan co-star.
