Reviews

"The Lovers" is a comedy of Middle American doldrums that leaves you rooting for its characters instead of smirking at them.

Owen Gleiberman, Variety

It's a hell of a role for Winger, her first lead for more than 20 years, and it acts as not only a showcase for her considerable talents but a reminder why women of her age deserve more screen time and respect.
