Vietnam veteran Leon Barlow is struggling as a writer, and his personal life isn't much better. His unsympathetic ex-wife Marilyn doesn't approve of his visits with his two children, and he has problems with alcohol. Yet even when Leon manages to catch up on alimony and child support payments, things in his life seem to decline further, until a sudden tragedy catches him off guard.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A rough, uneven but admirably imaginative film.
– Chris Vognar,

rotten:
The movie is obviously a labour of love so Howard appears to have had free rein to be as pretentious as he wanted.

rotten:
A movie that can't get sufficient distance from Leroy's delusions to escape their maudlin influence.
– Geoff Pevere,

fresh:
Though you couldn't call Love a complete success, it's packed with talent and intelligence, wayward poetry and bluesy longing.

A mess, but it's a sincere mess.
