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.

Reviews for I Love Your Work
I Love Your Work promises with its very title to be self-conscious, self-deprecating, self-glorifying, and self-mockingly witty.

You know you’re in trouble when a movie arrives in theatres in the fall of 2005 right after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in the fall of 2003.

a pointless stew
01/01/06
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].
09/18/07
It's too busy trying to be clever that it forgets to give us anything that's actually interesting.
03/23/06
I Love Your Work has its rewards for those up to the challenge of tackling its nonlinear structure and brooding nature.

Top CriticDirected by the young actor Adam Goldberg, "I Love Your Work is an attempt to say something interesting about modern celebrity.
12/01/05
Top CriticIt'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.

I love your other work - this one I'm not so crazy about.
03/29/04
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.
11/05/05
When Gray begins spying on a presumably normal couple (Joshua Jackson and Marisa Coughlan), the movie goes over the top. Perhaps that's the point. Who knows? Who cares?
07/05/05
A work that's hard to love.
09/12/03
Top CriticWallow in Hollywood hipster self-absorption.
10/20/05
Top CriticMaybe the point is to be bewildered. That would be fine had the film created any resonant power. Instead, we're merely bemused.
11/04/05
It’s Joshua Jackson who’s a powerhouse here...a very admirable film though, and for a first-time filmmaker, it’s a great accomplishment.
04/09/05
When the film goes into its second half, the initial fascination has almost worn off.
07/11/04
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
A jumbled parabola of self-deceptions, head trips and feints -- colorful and stimulating but not completely satisfying.
11/17/05
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.
