Love and Human Remains review notes mixed themes
Roger Ebert reviews Love and Human Remains as an uneven but absorbing film. He highlights amateurish plotting but strong character studies, focusing on David and Candy amid a web of sexual experiments. The Canadian director Denys Arcand is praised for truth to characters and a unifying through line, despite the killer subplot feeling tonal distractor.
