It's an intriguing mish-mash, a meta-textual stew that Goldberg, unfortunately, paints with a big, thick brush and then underlines with fat charcoal pencils.

Reviews
So many questions are raised from both sides of the celebrity fence that the film could only have been made by someone as on-the-edge of stardom as [Goldberg].

It's too busy trying to be clever that it forgets to give us anything that's actually interesting.

What is so dreadful about unearned fame and undeserved riches that warrants this faux-Antonioni despair?

At last, Adam Goldberg has given us his 8 1/2. It's an ambitious rumination on fame, reality, love, loss and regret that falls so far short, he should have called it 2 1/8.

Working with a self-consciously urgent, neo-noir style, Goldberg seems intent on expressing a meaningful message of some kind. It's too bad, then, that he has chosen such a shallow subject.

Directed by the young actor Adam Goldberg, "I Love Your Work is an attempt to say something interesting about modern celebrity.

Top Critic
I Love Your Work gets the dissonance of the celebrity lifestyle to a T. But the self-reflexive strategy of Goldberg and co-writer Adrian Butchart is too brainy by half.
12/01/05
When Ricci's dreamgirl, finally fed up with Gray's insanity, chastises him with "You're obvious," it's a sentiment also applicable to the film itself.
12/01/05
I Love Your Work promises with its very title to be self-conscious, self-deprecating, self-glorifying, and self-mockingly witty.
11/29/05
A jumbled parabola of self-deceptions, head trips and feints -- colorful and stimulating but not completely satisfying.
11/17/05
A crisp impressionistic look at stardom while pointing out the allure of being common. Very strong in direction, script and acting, but struggles to finish.
11/05/05
Goldberg takes his message really seriously, abandoning a satirical edge early on, as if he were the first person to ever discover that celebrity is hollow.

Maybe the point is to be bewildered. That would be fine had the film created any resonant power. Instead, we're merely bemused.
