The movie is exasperating, because we never know where we stand or what will happen next. I think that's one of its strengths: There's an exhilaration in this roller-coaster ride through scenes that come out of nowhere.

With Israeli filmmakers Golan and Globus watching over him, director John Cassavetes was guilty of less self-indulgence than usual, and the result is one of his best movies ever.

There's no other American director who can do what John Cassavetes does on the screen.

One of Cassavetes' most maddening films, but also one of his most wondrous and special.

Love Streams is at once a culmination of the director's obsessions and his most atypical film.
