Critic Reviews of "The Thing Called Love"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009Perhaps there's not much new to say about the dues and disappointments involved in breaking into the country music scene, but the scenes are fresh and the emotions real in Peter Bogdanovich's tune-laden, mixed-mood drama.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Bogdanovich's modest staging is occasionally awkward -- his kids still watch John Wayne movies at the drive-in -- but there's a convincing sense of what Nashville's like and how country music works.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004Although well acted, with early scenes that deftly sketch the atmosphere, the movie, written by Carol Heikkinen, never takes off.
Chicago ReaderJune 23, 2002It bears as little relation to the real Nashville as Altman's 1975 feature, but director Peter Bogdanovich, the talented cast, and the credited and uncredited screenwriters are so busy conjuring up a charming world of their own that I didn't mind.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Perhaps no one could have saved Phoenix, who was not lucky enough to find a higher bottom than death. But this performance in this movie should have been seen by someone as a cry for help.
Common Sense MediaJanuary 02, 2011A star is born in Nashville.
TV GuideJune 14, 2009Peter Bogdanovich brings conviction but little else to this upbeat response to Robert Altman's Nashville.
Combustible CelluloidApril 06, 2006Nothing terribly new happens here, but Bogdanovich plays out his scenes with tenderness and affection, and the honest performances spring to life.
Filmcritic.comJanuary 12, 2006It's so sad that Phoenix went out not with a bang but with this whimper.
