The Loved One Ratings & Reviews
LIFE
Pauline Kael
So far off its satirical target that it's stupid when trying to be clever.
The Reporter
Marvin Barrett
Southern has set himself an insoluble problem, and his response is appropriately neurotic and disconnected, a set of not very funny extraneous gags.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Time has worn much of the edge off the outrageous antics, though the scenes involving Mr. Joyboy's mother still have the power to (pick your poison) amuse/offend/anger/irritate/upset.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
It is hard to understand how a witty, tightly organized extravaganza like the Waugh novel... could have resulted in such a queasy, humorless, formless botch.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
The corpse's laughter, the mortician's art
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Misfire spoof on LA's funeral industry, American greed and Brits in Hollywood.

Alan Dale
Perhaps the only way to enjoy it is to accept that saying something offensive is better than saying nothing at all. The Evelyn Waugh who wrote The Loved One might have agreed with that, at any rate.

As tame as it is lame...The only thing that offended me about this movie is how it wasted two hours of my life.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...it tries to cover too much ground with too much material that is simply too obvious and too unfunny.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Boo Allen
Based on Evelyn Waugh's personal novel about his epxeriences when he came to the U.S. about MGM filming BRIDESHEAD REVISITED. It's his take on the English colony at the time. For more info., see Boo Allen's doctoral dissertation on Waugh.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Provided comedian Jonathan Winters with the only good turn the movies ever afforded him.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A wonderfully, witty satire, with Steiger's performance a riot.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
sarcastic and in deliciously poor taste, and terribly funny
