This is an excellent display of O’Brien’s infectious imagination and comic energy.

The Playlist - Charles Barfield
Ultimately, Love & Monsters is a film about picking yourself up, taking your destiny into your own hands, and not being afraid of living, even though you’re likely to make some mistakes along the way. And it’s a damn fun adventure to boot.

The Film Stage - Jared Mobarak
Love and Monsters proves itself a pretty well-rounded adventure for both its target audience and those older looking for a bit of escape that’s still firmly rooted in reality. Joel is an unlikely hero whose success shows humanity isn’t dead yet.

The New York Times - Lovia Gyarkye
Love and Monsters lacks the self-seriousness of typical dystopian flicks but, despite its surprisingly perfunctory title and relatively thin plot, it doesn’t completely lack depth.

Variety - Jessica Kiang
In Love and Monsters, love is good, monsters are bad and feeling like Tom Cruise is “awesome.”
