A Downer for all the Wrong Reasons - [30 Aug 2009]
There are plenty of reviews deriding this film for being a depressing downer. How can that be a worthy criticism? If the viewer didn't know the film was likely to be bleak, not only were they going in blind, they should stick to Rob Schneider movies. ...

Good but a downer. - [15 Feb 2009]
I am a Phillip Seymour Hoffman fan. This is a strange movie but an unrelenting downer. It's not for everyone. A real film buff should see it. I saw it once but will not view it again.

Why Can't I Give it Zero Stars? - [23 Feb 2008]
Philip Seymour Hoffman does his best to elevate this sorry excuse for a movie, but even an actor of his caliber can't save a script that's clichéd, maudlin and just bad. This is the kind of film that proves how nepotism works in Hollywood. If the screenwriter...

My God! If the sky was falling, it would be GOOD news! - [04 Nov 2007]
I didn't believe it was possible. This movie made Leaving Las Vegas seem spiritually uplifting. If you have ANY psychological abnormalities - neuroses, tendencies toward depression, suicide, etc... - DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I really regret the 50 cents...

Hoffman is the best - [11 Sep 2007]
This was outstanding. As a person who has had many, many, many losses in their life - including 2 as a result of suicide, I can totally understand how beat down and broken this character is. ANYTHING with Philip Seymour Hoffman is worth watching...., ...

A perfect 5 stars - [26 Jun 2007]
If you're looking for a movie which makes you rethink your life, this is a movie for you. Philip Seymour Hoffman is phenomenal and commands compassion without sappy pity. Kathy Bates is also excellent. The sad story is counteracted with moments of humor...

A comic tragedy - [08 Mar 2007]
As a person who has suffered some difficult losses, I can emphasize with the character. His addiction seems rather silly but don't most? Philip Seymor Hoffman perfectly encarnates Wilson Joel who can't seem to recover from his wife's shocking suicide....

Hoffman is excellent as usual, but not enough to carry this. - [03 Jan 2007]
Love Liza (Todd Louiso, 2002) Much was made of Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance in Love Liza before the film came out. Then it did come out, and very quickly faded from view. Those tracking it down these years later will quickly figure out why: while...

Powerful Drama - [09 Jun 2006]
Love Liza is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. There is little that is funny about it but there are three scenes in the film where one's EQ is brought under a major hammmering. My favourite scene in the film would be the one where Hoffman goes ...
