What are critics saying?

Village Voice by

Fortunately, there's far more to his slickly directed film than mere virtual tourism.

The New York Times by Andy Webster

The conventions are trundled out in Stanley J. Orzel’s cross-cultural romance, Lost for Words, but not the tension or the chemistry.

Chicago Sun-Times by Bill Stamets

Lost for Words is directed with little originality by Stanley J. Orzel.

Variety by Joe Leydon

Sufficiently sweet to serve as a date movie for all ages, Lost for Words comes across as almost subversively retrograde in its old-fashioned approach to charting the slow blossoming of a cross-cultural romance.

Los Angeles Times by Martin Tsai

The film's colorblindness does not make up for its latent sexism.
