Reviews for Loggerheads
the kind of movie that makes you feel more like an eavesdropper than a viewer

The dramatic tension is nil. But the performances, particularly by Hunt (in a non-comedic role, for a change), are worth a look.

... an understated and heartfelt story, superbly acted, with a strong sense of people and place.

... if you can shake out some of the chafing bits of sand that weigh down Loggerheads, you’ll find a heartfelt story about people coming to terms with irrevocable loss.

Slow, unadorned, compassionate, and earnest, Loggerheads is a low-fi throwback to the independent films of the 1980s and '90s -- heartland miniatures hewn from plainspoken lives.

Loggerheads has the best qualities of independent filmmaking.
11/11/05
Featuring a number of nicely honed performances and weaving three initially disparate tales into one, Loggerheads delivers far more than you might expect.
