The Look of Love Movie Review: | |
| A puzzlingly misconceived biopic: a tasteful, subdued movie about a man who was as tasteless and unsubdued as they come. Dana Stevens-Slate Coogan turns in a fine dramatic performance in a role that calls for as much actual acting as wisecracking. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post [Winterbottom] never really illuminates the man - or helps explain the fixed, intensely probing gaze of that title. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Compelling entertainment, as any biopic about Paul Raymond ought to be. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News A keenly observed period piece that keeps a celebrity journalist's distance from its subject. Stephen Holden-New York Times A curiously uninvolving affair. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times A character study that offers some of Steve Coogan's most interesting work and another testament to Michael Winterbottom's knack for period naturalism. Robert Levin-Film School Rejects The Look of Love is the latest and -- I'm sorry to report -- the least of Coogan and Winterbottom's team-ups. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Not only is Coogan not pushing himself, he often seems barely engaged, playing Raymond as a man of less than life size. Sam Adams-AV Club While stylishly capturing the verve, exotica, and free-spirited mojo of swinging '60s London, uber-prolific English director Michael Winterbottom's portrait of legendary U.K. smut impresario Paul Raymond is otherwise a shallow misfire. Rodrigo Perez-The Playlist With its softened edges, bland aftertaste, and watered-down distillation of Raymond's life and career, Michael Winterbottom's film represents the house champagne of biographical cinema. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine in tackling a fascinating character like Raymond, Coogan may have just turned him into another Steve Coogan character Chris Barsanti-Film Racket The Look of Love stays on the surface, and since decadence no longer shocks or even titillates, that surface has lost its luster. Rex Roberts-Film Journal International Raymond is an unrepentant, if awkward, ladies' man, and Coogan plays him to foot-in-mouth perfection. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz In this light-hearted period biopic, a cool Steve Coogan brings a cheeky urbane swagger to his portrayal of Paul Raymond, the adult-entertainment entrepreneur who brought nude live shows and softcore pornography to the masses. Jim Schembri-3AW Winterbottom and Coogan redefined the modern biopic with 24 Hour Party People. Here, they try and squeeze themselves into an old-fashioned one, awkwardly. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Far from the swinging '60s or sleazy '70s so often portrayed with glee on screen, the London of Paul Raymond's world feels grim, dark and, ultimately, devoid of passion.
