Light of my life's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
A solid, bleak and very well-acted independent film. Its sinuous development offers some risky and fascinating moments. Honest, intelligent and honest.
Variety
It confuses tedium with art. Scene-to-scene, Affleck does a good job in directing with a soft, intimate, human touch?but hinders himself with a script that doesn't work at all.
Indiewire
A mix of 'Leave No Trace' and 'The Road'. It offers an attractive variation of familiar elements and its tense end makes the path, though erratic, worthwhile.
Cinemanía
"Affleck has made a beautiful portrait of love between father and daughter, full of soft moments, mutual understanding, tension, danger (...) and he puts it into a science-fiction back in which women has disappeared".
El Mundo
"Affleck choose the most intimate note, the film unfolds all in the reduced space of two looks, two eyes that look for each other, two frightened eyes, two eyes that flee (...) And, truthfully, it is appreciated and even that director-actor's ability to tense every emotion to something like the most simple agony is suffered ".
The Playlist
"'Light of my Life is not a bad film, instead it?s a heartfelt, intelligent and earnest one (if a little tidy) that prompts far more questions, about whether we believe in the possibility of rehabilitation, and who deserves that opportunity".
