Faye (Dale Dickey) is a lone traveler biding her time fishing, birding and stargazing at a rural Colorado campground as she awaits the arrival of Lito (Wes Studi), a figure from her past who is navigating his own tentative and nomadic journey across the rugged West. Like the country music that has traditionally channeled the heartbreak and resilience of Americans in search of themselves and others, A Love Song weaves a lyrical and ultimately joyful refrain out of the transformative act of being alone -- and reminds us that love can nourish and mystify at any age.

Critics Consensus

Providing a brilliant (and too-rare) showcase for veteran actors Dale Dickey and Wes Studi, A Love Song tells a small, stirring tale with quiet grace.

4/5

The landscape has a certain gaunt beauty and so does Dickey’s performance.

4/5

[Walker-Silverman] lets his film play out, as naturally as the performances of his leads, who never seem to be acting. Instead they are exploring, whether it’s their surroundings or each other.

4/5

A microcosm of a whole final stretch of one’s life ... It’s rare that I see a film wield this level of minimalism this remarkably well, making so much out of so little.

B-

A Love Song does what it says on the tin and presents a film that is stripped back and honest. For his first feature film, Max Walker-Silverman shows a lot of strength in capturing tone, heart, and using key filmmaking techniques...

A Love Song is a well-told, beautifully written movie that is a cinematic masterpiece of love and wonder that quietly whispers monologues of love, life, and grief.

Quiet, peaceful movie. Makes one think although used very limited dialog. The ending just seemed right, too.
