I love this movie so much

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This version of Love Affair (made for the third time) is a film that suffers from a sluggish first half while trying to achieve its goal of having its main characters fall in love. To aide this goal, the characters played by Warren Beatty and Annette Bening take an excursion to a remote Pacific Ocean island to visit the Katharine Hepburn character, a plot point too transparent and contrived to truly be effective. Still, the film manages to redeem itself in the third act with subtle yet powerful drama. The acting is fine, particularly Annette Bening but both she and Warren Beatty shine in the final, heart-wrenching scene.

I have watched Love Story numerous times, and every time it touches my heart. This is my favorite movie of all time! Annette Benning and Warren Beatty are outstanding. Katherine Hepburn adds a touch of whimsy to the story. It is just a delightful movie and warms my heart. I always wonder if this movie was made during the beginning of their (Annette and Warren's)love story. I was amazed to see that this movie was listed as not successful on the movie charts. I couldn't believe that since it is such a warm, delightful, moving story. It has been on television both yesterday and today and I found myself watching it both days. I couldn't stay away from this wonderful movie and the charming work of both these really fine actors.

Beautiful film with great actors. Very moving, emotional and touching! Shows that everyone can change. Apparently, Beatty's life changed meeting Annette - in the film too. Katherine Hepburn is fantastic, a great actress and a great woman. Love Affair is not just about a love affair, it is a love story, a great love that changes your life, an unconditional unselfish love that puts the other first. It truly is a wonderful love story that has the moves, the light, the emotion, the music... "I love watching you move" - just one of the great lines that don't go away and become part of our own lines! I have watched it over and over and every single time I feel the same emotions. The scenery is also wonderful from the beautiful island shoots to central park in autumn. 10/10 easily...

Without her this movie would be maybe something to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon when there's not much on cable. But K Hepburn takes this film from "ok" to "something worth spending spending time watching." Even at her age the strength of her character and acting ability brought the few sparks there were into this film. But I've always considered Warren & Annette a perfect match...bland...bland...and more bland. Do they have a personality?? I truly don't understand how they got to where they are today, but I could say the very same thing about some of our re-electeds. If you want to watch a much better version of the story with an entirely different sphere of acting check out the 1957 version "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Some scenes are a little outdated, but the acting and chemistry between these two make it timeless. They've made their characters seem so real, they almost jump out of the screen. Then it all comes to a head in this heartbreakingly emotional ending, a story of selfless love, I cry every time. Annette & Warren simply don't have the acting ability or charisma to give these characters that certain kind of trueness in which you would feel any great emotional investment. They strike me as very into themselves sort of selfish people anyway, could they truly characterize selflessness?
