The Look of Love

"For all his many talents, there are two reasons Steve Coogan will never be considered a great dramatic actor. 1) he's much too funny. And 2) he soundsexactly like Alan Partridge."

"Though all the performances are very good, much of Look's entertainment value comes from an impressive tech package that captures the shifting fashions of swinger-favored pop-culture garishness over the pic's roughly 25-year period."

"For the most part - filthy good fun."

"There's something a bit over-familiar here - in a solidly entertaining, made-for-telly, nothing-we-haven't-seen-before, way."

"Nicely conveys the world of semi-respectable Soho porn, sadder and tattier than its sleazier end, with its desperate champagne lunches and dreary afternoon hangovers."

"The screen heaves with acres of toned flesh and much exquisite period detail. There are also some great one-liners, facial hair and merkin work that would have done Gods And Generals proud."

"Steve Coogan's performance is consistently amusing, but the poignant dimensions the director appears to be seeking don't quite come together."

"A solid, straightforward biopic about a fascinating individual and his destructive relationships, with strong performances and a healthy sense of naffness."
