Critics consensus

“Sharp writing and a strong ensemble make Love! Valour! Compassion! work, though its stage-like presentation leaves something to be desired.”

Emanuel Levy

RTVarietyJan 24, 2007

Terrence McNally's Tony award-winning play, a perceptive, often hilarious look and love and life in the AIDS era, is so sharply written and bluntly entertaining that it almost overcomes Joe Mantell's static direction, which is too theatrical.

RTUSA TodayJan 1, 2000

Outdoor settings alone do not a movie make, though director Joe Mantello (who also directed the play) seems to be trying.

R

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

Love! Valour! Compassion! is a touching and perceptive film, about themes anyone can identify with: loneliness, jealousy, need, generosity.

McNally captures urban gay life in the final decade of the 20th century with wit and perspicacity.
