A-
"Anyone with a weakness for larger-than-life snapshots of dementia and the exceptional stupidity of humanity will have a field day soaking up every last frame of this terrific documentary."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

4/5
"some quite serious questions are actually dealt with in admirable fashion"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

B+
"If you don't know the tale of Burt and Linda Pugach, then you're out of the loop on one of the biggest running tabloid stories in New York history."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"At the same time, it makes Linda, possibly, a deeply disquieting wife for Burt -- at least as imagined from outside the marriage. As a friend of Linda's puts it, "He sees what he did to her every single day. I don't know if it's a joy or a punishment.""  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

3/4
"There hasn't been a documentary this sick since Kirby Dick's Sick!"  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

A-
"Despite knowing some of the story's more jaw-dropping developments beforehand, I was still riveted and surprised by the movie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"Captures the sheer weirdness of the tale without turning it into sleazy sensationalism...turning what's really a sordid story into a perversely fascinating romance."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

C+
"Klores never succeeds in making these outrageous turns of events all that surprising and Crazy Love feels like obsession that's been warmed over once too often."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/4
"Crazy Love has a tabloid story to kill for, and a basic nonfiction form to snooze over."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

C
"You say 'psychotic codependency' like it's a bad thing."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
