- Nicholas Bell @ IONCINEMA.com

- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com

- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: One stunning location, two main stars, family ties and a script that is a narcissistic science fiction twist on 1945’s Dorothy McGuire and Robert Younger starrer “The Enchanted Cottage” is the means to a clever directorial debut by Charlie McDowell…
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: This is smart filmmaking, not only for the inventiveness of Lader’s central conceit but also for the dexterity from all involved to keep it grounded in reality.
- Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: An innovative way to demonstrate how relationships tend to lose their spark over time.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: I guarantee you the conversation in the car on the way home will be far more profound than the one you had on the way there.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: The One I Love has an inspired conceit that depends all on the element of surprise and its insight into interpersonal relationships.
- Kristy Puchko @ CinemaBlend.com
- Excerpt: It’s happened to all of us. Everyone is raving about a movie with a “big twist.” You totally mean to see it. And right before you do, some jackass accidentally drops the bomb.
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: An indie with an intriguing premise, The One I Love is a smart and surprising take on the romantic comedy. The script by Joe Lader adds an interesting dimension to the set-up of a troubled couple on a weekend retreat, one that the trailer only hints at and that I’ve seen other venues treat as a spoiler.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Uses what initially seems a slight, even ludicrous conceit to treat of deeper relationship issues in an intelligent, sophisticated way.
