What critics are saying about Love Is Strange

Director Director. Annette Haywood-Carter. Producer Producer.Reading up on her*, this seems to be more personal than I might've given it credit for, particularly with Kate Nelligan and Ron Silver's gay son getting the experience that any queer child should have with their parents (even if it's after years of disconnection).

Greta T. Narrator’s review published on Letterboxd: In my post-Foxfire frenzy (which I can't really say has ended, not while I'm still listening this much to that Mazzy Star song), I missed that Annette Haywood-Carter made a movie three years after it before not making anything until 2013.
