True to Sachs' style, the movie isn't designed as an actor's showcase. We're not supposed to notice the acting here -- just the people.

Sachs understands [Lithgow and Molina's] consummate skills as actors; putting them together, the result is wonderfully warm and wise.

Pitch-perfect acting and a fine control of high emotion that never slips into treacly sentiment distinguish this small and lovely ensemble piece by writer-director Ira Sachs.

Yes, love is strange, but thank the heavens for that. In a world where lives are increasingly swayed by mortgages and job security, the nonsensical weirdness of love may be our only salvation.

John Lithgow and Alfred Molina... deliver wonderful performances as long-in-love older gents kept apart by the real estate market (a familiar story, and not just in New York, it seems).

Sachs rarely overstates his themes. "Love Is Strange" is largely a restrained drama about the loss of comfort.

Pivoting on a loving couple growing older, not having finances in place, needing to rely on others to get by, Love Is Strange has universal poignancy.

'Love is Strange' takes something so right and leaves it hanging all wrong.

Love Is Strange is drab-looking and has its longueurs, but it's emotionally very full.

I can't say enough about how smart and clear-eyed it is. And moving: I'm wiping tears off my keyboard as I type this.

"Love is Strange" boasts an abundance of patience and kindness - but not much of a pulse.

"Love Is Strange" is a testament to love, not in an overly sentimental way, but in a realistic way.
