Reception
In FilmInk Erin Free gives it a rating of $16.50 (out of $20) and say it is "Sweet, positive and charming, this film is like a cinematic breath of fresh air, tapping into a real vein of joy and happiness."[2] Writing in The Australian David Stratton gave it 1 1/2 stars calling it "an excessively bland affair".[3] Jim Schembri on jimschembri.com gave it 1/2 a star. He writes "In the latest excruciating example of an Australian genre film that apparently has no idea what it is doing, Love You Like That is an embarrassing muddle of missed opportunities, story holes, wild shifts of tone, wince-worthy dialogue, thin performances and a premise that doesn’t start to cook until five minutes before the credits roll."[4]
