"Despite his obvious independent looks of the film is aesthetically what is his protagonist in life: a copy of the caution and circumspection. Only in a short sequence in the pool takes Hoffman an image for the life of his characters pain in the disturbing sight of another bather. Ever included the scene in the swimming pool to the best of the film. Otherwise remains an anesthetized acting static camera on the surface of still constantly evoked loneliness and leaves the bulk of the effects the performances of the actors. Jack in Love is primarily a intimistischer film of an actor for actors. "
