Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Josef Andreas Crestmere I just watched a recording of this movie that I had made from IFC or Sundance. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and disappointed by the film. For anyone who has ever tried to write a black comedy, it is one of the hardest genres out there to try and pull off. There is the risk of not being dark enough or not being funny enough. there is also the risk that a black comedy about a controversial subject will alienate a large portion of the potential audience. The film had a few genuinely brilliant moments but they never seemed to work together particularly well. The acting was strong by indie film standards, particularly for a movie that placed a large emphasis on quirky characters. Tucker was excellent as the main character, a man who could move from meek to menacing seamlessly. Ginnifer Goodwin came off as a bit over the top at times but her performance near the end of the film made up for a few issues near the beginning. Jeremy Renner plays serial killers well, though this character lacked the depth of the man he played in Dahmer. If there was one major problem I had with the film, it was that it never really took a vocal stance on the death penalty.Overall, this is a movie that is worth watching if you have the time and nothing else better on the Tivo.

blueeyesjames Just sat down to breakfast and this came on Starz. had no idea what to expect. Laughing hysterically, although the subject matter wouldn't make you think so! Crying, (real man-tears) by the end!Yes it's a dark comedy, think Heathers or something similar. Great cast, non-stop quoteables in it! I know this differs from the other review but I say give it a shot! Jeremy Renner is a hot actor. I saw him in "CSI" and "Dahmer". I'm suggesting this to people who enjoy interesting cinema!Give it a shot and you should be pleasantly surprised. Christine Ebersole is in it too, and I almost didn't recognize her!Have fun!

intelearts This is a mixed film - it could be darker, it could be funnier - but the plotting was unpredictable, and there are moments of strangeness.The characters are too whimsical to be really effective - even in broad comedy. The ideas though are original - though I got the sense that the writers sat and said how can we make this more original - but originality is no substitute for soul - and though the filming, script, and acting are good the film lacks a soul - it ends up feeling like a darker but weakly weak episode of My Name is Earl - and it just isn't funny enough. The humor is OK, but it definitely is not on target most of the time.Could have been the next Buppa Ho-Tep ends up as a kookie film without a soul...

bethlynn327 I saw Love Comes to the Executioner Friday, March 18 at SXSW Film Festival. It is the most original film I've seen, maybe ever. Memento was also very original. (just to give you my point of reference) I've literally never seen anything like this film. It's going to be billed as a dark comedy, but it's not that dark. It's just hysterical in a smart, sick sort of way. I wish I could find the screenplay online, because it has some of the best lines I've ever heard in a film. I have a feeling if it gets distribution, and I can't imagine it won't, it'll be a cult classic and be quoted along the lines of Office Space. While the plot is pretty simple, although not entirely predictable, it really is the dialog that makes this movie so unique. The main cast really pull off their quirky characters.
