IONCINEMA.com
Mr. Lithgow and Mr. Molina, seasoned and subtle actors, beautifully capture the small pleasures and petty irritations Ben and George live through, and also their pride at having survived, together, for so long.

Rating: 4/5 --
It starts with a marriage. A marriage which is also, unexpectedly, an ending of sorts, although you wouldn't know it from the hum of warmth and goodwill that surrounds Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina).

Times (UK)
Sachs, Molina, and Lithgow have given adult moviegoers a perfect piece of summer counterprogramming -- a warm, humane, resplendent romance to savor while our days are still long. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
[T]he filmmaker observes with great sensitivity, letting certain conflicts play just below the surface. -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
Lithgow and Molina convey the body language of a longtime couple to such a degree that they effortlessly become part of the film's fabric.

Rating: 2.8/5 --
Sachs takes Love is Strange into a territory where elliptical storytelling puts a stranglehold on any chance of building an affection for Ben and George.

Product Description:
A committed gay couple find their fledgling marriage challenged by a series of unexpected developments in this compassionate drama from writer/director Ira Sachs (MARRIED LIFE, KEEP THE LIGHTS ON). Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) have been together for nearly 40 years. When gay marriage becomes legal in New York, the happy couple decide that it's finally time to tie the knot, and declare their love for one another in front of family and friends. Although the ceremony is everything Ben and George ever could have hoped for, the happy couple's newlywed bliss is sadly short-lived when the diocese receives word of the wedding, and George is fired from his job as a music teacher at a local Catholic school. As a result, the pair are no longer able to afford the rent on the New York City apartment they've shared for two decades. In order to remain in the city while searching for a job, George moves in with his sympathetic neighbors, a pair of gay policemen (Manny Perez and Cheyenne Jackson). Meanwhile, Ben attempts to make the best of the situation by moving in with his nephew's family in Brooklyn. Now, as the big event that should have brought Ben and George closer together leads only to loneliness and frustration, everyone involved finds their once-comfortable lives in a hopeless state of flux. Marisa Tomei, Darren E. Burrows, and Charlie Tahan co-star.
