Entertainment Reviews:
[I]t is as sleek and polished as the marble surfaces and angular art deco fittings of the family apartments inhabited by its protagonists...
Sight and Sound
I AM LOVE is no vanity project; if anything Swinton is pushed to Streep-like feats of above-and-beyond transformation...
Movieline
4 stars out of 4 -- I AM LOVE is an amazing film. It is deep, rich, human.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The overripe ending, heated by the percolating music of John Adams, is heavy seasoning on a delicate dish.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
3 stars out of 5 -- Tilda Swinton speaks immaculate Italian, blending in well with the lavish decor as she embarks on an affair...
Total Film
Rating: 4/5 --
Visually, the film is an aesthetic joy... The performances are (as far as melodrama goes) both downplayed and elegant, making more than enough room for John Adam's excitable score.

CineVue
The grand architecture of Milan and the icy rhythms of composer John Adams set the tone for this elegant Italian drama about the suffocating power of family, wealth, and tradition.

Product Description:
This lavish, sprawling drama from filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has drawn numerous comparisons to the films of Luchino Visconti for the grace with which it plumbs the inner workings of the Italian upper crust. Edoardo Recchi Sr. (Gabriele Ferzetti) is the aging patriarch of a Milanese clan that has amassed a significant fortune over the years through shrewd investments in the textile business. Edoardo Sr. has a beautiful wife, Allegra (Marisa Berenson), and the two have a reliable and dependable son, Tancredi (Pippo Delbono). Years ago, Tancredi met, fell in love with, and then married a woman named Emma (Tilda Swinton) amid a trip to Russia, and brought her back home to Milan; their children include sons Edoardo Jr. (Flavio Parenti) and Gianluca (Mattia Zaccaro), and artist daughter Elisabetta (Alba Rohrwacher). The family gathers for a reunion at Edoardo Sr. and Allegra's villa in Milan, but the happy gathering takes a somber turn when Edoardo suddenly dies not long after having lunch with his family. But the death is far from the only pivotal event that occurs that day: Edoardo Jr. also introduces his mother to a chef, Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini), with whom he plans to open a restaurant, and Emma finds herself drawn to the culinary artist. Meanwhile, Emma learns that Elisabetta is a lesbian, and though initially startled by this news, she takes the liberation of her daughter as inspiration for her own liberation from confining nuptials. On impulse, Emma travels to San Remo, catches sight of Antonio, and finds herself helplessly drawn to him. Meanwhile, as Emma and Elisabetta undertake their life-changing journeys, all of the men in the Recchi clan outside of Edoardo Jr. feel bound to profit-driven motives -- the commercialism of a class that has long ago shucked responsibility for its workers. This critically acclaimed film constituted Swinton's second collaboration with Guadagnino; they first worked together on the 1999 feature THE PROTAGONISTS.
