• why does Love Ranch feel like a clumsy TV movie?

  Review rate : C- by Nathan Rabin [A.V. Club ]

• What happens when the worst tendencies of a poor screenplay are exaggerated by labored and unimaginative direction?

  by Andrew Schenker [Slant Magazine ]

• often more execrable

  by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice ]

• it's an insipid, tacky film about tacky whores and crooks

  by Chris Barsanti [Film Journal International ]

• it's almost sort of watchable, albeit in a train-wreck-no-survivors kind of way

  by Mick LaSalle [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• If any film about prostitution can be called anti-erotic, then "Ranch" surely is it

  by Kirk Honeycutt [Hollywood Reporter ]

• feels like a television movie with a fouler mouth

  by Dustin Putman [DustinPutman.com ]

• an off-key biopic that doesn't know where to begin or end

  by Cole Smithey [ColeSmithey.com ]

• a tawdry look at the early days of Nevada's legalized brothel business that plays more like Lifetime fodder than the Martin Scorsese pics that serve as its model

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• "Love Ranch" gives you only a superficial, cliched picture of brothel life.

  by Stephen Holden [NY Times ]
