After eight years of traveling, Tim (Douglas Henshall), a charismatic man in his late twenties, returns to the small English riverside town where he grew up, arriving in the middle of his cousin Stuart's funeral. This funeral is the springboard for three stories of love: a heart that betrays, a heart that derails, a heart that finally breaks.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unconventional and refreshing, this strikingly un-Hollywood film takes a quiet and heartbreaking look at the warmth and inspiration of friendships lost.

Brandon Judell IndieWire Jun 28, 2018
It has the emotional wallop of a Mike Leigh offering and the acute intelligence of an early John Schlesinger effort. This is a film about learning how to seize the day. And this is a film that does just that. Go to Full Review

Mildly engaging melodrama that's more sharply written than directed. Go to Full Review
Matt Kelemen Las Vegas CityLife Apr 30, 2004
Subtle in its use of cause and effect, Lawless Heart is a light-hearted study of relationships and regret, of last chances and lessons in love. Go to Full Review
