The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

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.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie was way over the top, mostly dealing with the cancer, it was just unrealistic portrayal of a women with caner. Then the constant going back and forth and the screen saying what year it was. I don't appreciate watching Silvia collapse every five minutes from the brain cancer, i mean in real life people don't constantly collapse i've never seen a cancer patient ever do that, and they have her shaking vigorously like a vibrator, its so disturbing seeing this. People don't melodramatically do that in real life, and her death clichéd, shes talking and then dies, like love story ugh. 1/10 stars, and Marissa Tomei wasn't all that great in it either.

This movie really took me by surprise since I knew nothing about it when I found it on TV. The plot is really good, the script is good and the characters are all lovable and enjoyable, thanks to the actors that play them. There is nothing really complicated in it; the director doesn't get lost in what would seem a complicated situation, he makes it seem simple and real. Even if the story is told in flashback, you never get lost, as it happens with other movies which use the same element to tell a story. And the performances are very powerful without being overacted. In the end, even though one of the people in the love triangle dies, you are not left with a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction for it because her significant other has found a new love. To be honest, I wish all romantic movies were like this!

I just got done watch Only Love and it was one of the best romantic movies i ever seen. All the actors did a wonderful job on their characters, and you could really feel the pain of what Mathew went through. It was a very good movie and I give it a 10! I'm going to buy that movie and it will be on my favorites list. My favorite scene in the movie was at the end when Matthew and Evie were playing the duet together and it was like it was the first time since they had been married that they really became one. Both in music and in their marriage. Only Love kept me on my seat and at any moment about to cry. Watch it with a box of tissues!! Your have to see this movie!! I'm sure it will become one of your favorites too!

My wife and I watched the film over two nights and wish it had been cut by an hour or so. The padding that is too often part of made-for-TV movies was all too obvious and, by the end, we were getting very tired of Sylvia's clinging and the 'meaningful' looks. The film belongs to Marisa Tomei and, to a lesser extent to Rob Morrow who create engaging characters who save the film from its plot excesses. We had only seen Tomei once previously, in 'My Cousin Vinny'. We recognize that many found her work in that movie very funny, but we thought her character was annoying at best. Her portrayal of Evie in 'Only Love' is refreshing. Honorable Mentions to Paul Freeman (who we know from 'Monarch of the Glen')and Jeroen Krabbé ('Prince of Tides' and 'The Fugitive') who salvaged characters who would have been hopelessly stereotypical in lesser hands.
