Johanna Schneller Globe and Mail 3d
It’s sad and funny, unexpected and beautifully observed. Go to Full Review
Alison Herman Variety 3d
“Miss You, Love You” is a small film in scope, hence the bypassing of theaters for distribution on TV, but not in emotional payoff, as Diane and Jamie wrestle with a complex brew of resentment, recognition and, finally, forgiveness. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal 6d
A virtual two-hander, “Miss You, Love You” is a rare accomplishment -- just enough of a good thing. Go to Full Review

Mary L @RT63246416 1d This movie is a must watch and rewatch. Janney and Rannells are mesmerizing in this intimate, beautifully filmed, look at the difficult decisions people make to cope with the dichotomies that comprise existence. Like the desert setting that alternately enraptures and threatens, the taut dialogue exposes the beauty and peril of relationships, while inspiring to connect and embrace all facets of life. See more t C @TC002 2d The movie concerns the dysfunctional relationship between a mother and her son with sharp and intelligent dialogue, skillfully executed by Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells. One of the best movies to come out this year! See more inta K @intuciic 2d real human story with real pains, real people stuff and complicated relations between people. See more Alex C @RT39066819 3d Masterfully acted. I almost gave 4.5 stars only because it is such a truly human story that it makes you reflect on your own loss and pain. And I need to go back and rewatch it immediately because I worry I didn’t give it the attention it deserves the first go around. Just like it deserves five stars. It is certainly more drama than comedy, but the two leads are so loveable despite - or perhaps because of - their flaws that you want to spend every possible second with them. See more Hoi Y. @HoiYo 4d I wanted to love this because of Ms. Janney, but it was more like a Lifetime TV film that only affluent gay men from the Southwest would understand. Grieving sucks, and then to have strange religious wing-nuts sabotage it to suit their format was even worse! Rannells' performance was ok but his character was very odd to the storyline and plot. I still don't understand if he was actually a boyfriend or just an angel. See more Tiffany G @RT23468976 4d Review: wp.me/p65txm-irK See more Read all reviews
