Andrew Lincoln as TV Producer Helen McCrory as Mrs. Logan Anna Maxwell Martin as Penny Corin Redgrave as The Professor Critical response The film received mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes assigned the film a score of based on reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "While it strains credibility and isn't ultimately as profound as it might first appear, Enduring Love is still an intriguing thriller fueled by strong performances from Rhys Ifans and Daniel Craig." Empire, however, voted it number 426 on their list of the 500 greatest films ever made. At RogerEbert.com, the film received 3 of 4 stars. The reviewer points out the film is among the few dealing with the fact that sometimes, we have a choice about what happens and how we react. It causes the viewer to ask, What would I have done? The Guardian's Rob Mackie describes the film's opening scene as startling and beautifully shot, a 'vivid, colourful scene - bright red balloon, bright blue sky, bright green grass.' This is contrasted with the subsequential muted and downbeat. Giving the film a 3 out of 5 stars, he describes it as a 'thoughtful philosophical inquiry (which) becomes a less convincing thriller'. It 'intrigues but ultimately disappoints'. Calling the film a 'jokeless gloomarama,' The New Yorker's Anthony Lane wrote, 'The ideas behind “Enduring Love” may be fascinating, but they don’t play; they sulk.' He feels the lack of grip persists to the finale and the climax feels clenched and ridiculous. Giving the film a 4 out of 5 stars, Nev Pierce of BBC News Online desccribes the film as, 'An intelligent and gripping dramatic thriller, Enduring Love is a real rarity: a film better than the book.' While admitting it isn't flawless, he calls it both ambitious and vigorous, and worthy of viewers' attention. See also Erotomania, the disorder depicted in the book and film.
