Johanna Schneller Globe and Mail Jun 2
It’s sad and funny, unexpected and beautifully observed. Go to Full Review
Alison Herman Variety Jun 1
“Miss You, Love You” is a small film in scope, hence the bypassing of theaters for distribution on TV, but not in emotional payoff, as Diane and Jamie wrestle with a complex brew of resentment, recognition and, finally, forgiveness. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal May 29
A virtual two-hander, “Miss You, Love You” is a rare accomplishment -- just enough of a good thing. Go to Full Review

I adore this. Janney is sublime, and Rannells is rarely asked to be this honest in a film. Go to Full Review
Robert Stinner In Review Online Jun 6
Despite frequent glimmers of emotional resonance and Janney and Rannell’s engaging rapport, Rash’s overwriting and underdirection ultimately lead to a viewing experience that is more frustrating than moving. Go to Full Review

Andrew R. @ADufresne 7h There are some really heartfelt moments but mostly it’s 90 minutes of watching two people argue See more Bev W. @BevAK 21h Sad and beautiful. The portrayal by Allison Janney of a grieving wife but more so a grieving mother was very moving. Andrew Rannells’ performance was excellent and a perfect offset to the bitterness of grief. The two together connected in a way that brought me compassion and understanding of how complicated relationships can be. I liked both characters very much. See more James K @jekol2 1d Honest and moving, with exceptional work from Alison Janney and Andrew Rannells -delivering the most personal and honest work I've ever seen him do. Somehow there is catharsis in the high desert light of New Mexico See more Laura D @LauraD33 2d The most amazing, witty, and sharp writing I've seen in a film in a long time. I was blown away by the banter and the twists and turns of the dialogue. This film is very dark and breathtaking at the same time. Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells are brilliant together. They feed off each other's performances with remarkable skill, creating characters that feel authentic, layered, and unforgettable. I have been carrying a great deal of grief after recently losing two sons, and this film touched me in ways I didn't expect. Thank you, Allison, for being such a tenacious and emotionally rich actress. And thank you, Andrew, for the stamina, vigor, and loyalty you brought to your character. You both delivered stunning performances. If you love intelligent dialogue, sharp writing, and actors who understand how to bring deeply personal nuances to their roles, see this film. I'm watching it again tonight. See more Deb S. @TallKSMom 3d I love both of these actors and they are at the top of their game in this movie. Different than what I expected but very emotional See more Veronica S @vsheehan 3d I started watching as I was filling time, expecting,hoping, to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, I ended up living a beautiful moment in time watching a movie filled with words and acting that will be with me forever. I will think of it when ever I procrastinate or avoid the next step. I will hear Jamie's final words of why he hasn't "walked through" & hear Diane say the right thing to help Jamie walk through the threshold hug Diane then turn to leave and truly walk through the doorway to loving himself as he. As he then moves on in his love life. May we all find the courage. See more Read all reviews
