Who Do You Love Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
It was muscled out of the marketplace by Cadillac Records, Sony's glossy, star-studded movie about Leonard. But it's clearly the better movie, earthier, wittier, and more intimate in its treatment of America's racial divide in the 1950s.
Metromix.com
Matt Pais
Crackles with the sense of discovering genius that's ready to be heard and distributed.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I think more edge is needed, more reality about the racial situation at the time, more insight into how and why R&B and rock 'n' roll actually did forever transform societies in America and the world.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
In the end, the most striking thing about Leonard is that he never seems to stop smoking.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
It's the terrific music and amusing array of characters that keep the picture afloat.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Isn't the blues supposed to be cathartic and rock 'n' roll liberating? Recording maestro Chess is too tense and grim, and there are few joyous musical moments.
Boxoffice Magazine
Pam Grady
An engaging portrait of the man behind the artists.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Has neither the star power nor the epic sense of itself that infused Cadillac Records, the 2008 film on the same subject.
MTV
Kurt Loder
Less than two years after the so-so "Cadillac Records," here comes "Who Do You Love," which is so-so in different ways.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
Zaks finds the life in every scene, even the more clichd ones...it feels like a celebration of a seminal musical moment, for all its flaws.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
Recreated performances backing the more than nostalgic music of the era are worth the ticket, but the rest is more borscht than history.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A competent but unexciting lesson in the history of the blues.
AV Club
Noel Murray
In short: we see the Chess Records story simplified and telegraphed. But at least the cast doesn't act as though they're mired in the biopic muck.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Another behind-the-scenes look at the formation and success of Chess Records in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s.
New York Press
Armond White
In Who Do You Love? everything that Chess Records has come to symbolize about pop culture, race relations or the blues transitioning into rock 'n' roll gets flattened. It perceives American history in reverse.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Who Do You Love? solves segregation with a harmonica duet, suggesting its proclivity for hot air.
Slant Magazine
Jason Clark
Ambles along poorly from one ill-conceived, brutally edited vignette to another.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
All period details and, of course, the music remain scrupulously authentic. The characters feel slightly less so.
