Critical reception
[edit]The film received a mixed response, with critics lauding the beauty of its shots but criticizing the directionless narrative.[4] In 1972, The Guardian's Derek Malcolm wrote: "Love 65 now seems to stand uncomfortably between the raw realism of 'Raven's End' and the evocative lyricism of 'Elvira Madigan'".[7]
