Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even at its most rigged, there's always just enough to admire in the Loach model.
– Dennis Lim,
Village Voice,
23 Nov 2004
fresh:
The filmmaker's scope expands to take in Casim's parents and two sisters, whose public shame and private despair at having the only son move in with a 'goree' -- a white girl -- is made palpably, wrenchingly real.
– Chuck Wilson,
L.A. Weekly,
24 Nov 2004
fresh:
Although Loach takes pains to present all sides of the issues he raises, he courageously faces up to the truth about people's lives, which is his abiding strength.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
29 Nov 2004
fresh:
English-language East-West domestic dramas usually tip the scales in favor of modernity... But A Fond Kiss is equally sympathetic to each side.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
29 Nov 2004
fresh:
A small movie, told in a familiar way, and it fails to draw the big picture it could. But it does provide one unusual, and very striking sketch of two lives in crisis, and one community in transition.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
