“I Am Love” is an amazing film. It is deep, rich, human. It is not about rich and poor, but about old and new.

With her vividly otherworldly and almost extra-terrestrial screen presence, Swinton is perfectly cast in this elegant, if over-determined and slightly desiccated piece of cinema.

Suveränt verk om passion, lust och mat! Oändligt vacker och poetisk och en jakt på filmisk skönhet.

Det känns väldigt befriande med en sådan här typ av film som aldrig är onödigt ångestladdad och samtidigt lättsam utan att bli fånig.
