Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Nov 16, 2016
Better to revisit such related films as "Boys Don't Cry" or TV's "The Matthew Shepard Story" for a more persuasive look at a topic that demands clarity more than gimmickry. Go to Full Review
Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Sep 15, 2019
An expansion of her short film by the same title, Love Is All You Need? is an intriguing and very personal look at what it feels like to be persecuted for what you look like, who you are, and whom you love. Go to Full Review

Abraham M Mar 11, 2017 the kind of thing that would seem clever and poignant if you were perpetually 12 and never got past the "what if you said this... but about STRAIGHT PEOPLE?" false equivalency argument. all the subtlety and nuance of a battering ram labeled "LOVE IS LOVE." 0/10 for managing to make HOMOPHOBIA about straight people, reinforcing the idea that straight people matter at all, and also (especially) depicting str8s as the victims of literal homophobic slurs See more
Theodore R Jan 11, 2017 Awesome. Great concept, strong characters, great casting, bit of a tear jerker in the end
