Reception
[edit]A review in Variety stated, " Authentic perfs help maintain interest, but helming is uninspired and cannot transcend this DV effort’s severe technical limitations. A continuous torrent of indiscriminate noise on the soundtrack is particularly irritating."[4] while Screen Anarchy commented, "Despite not rising above the trappings of a cautionary tale, Love Conquers All is still an impressive debut feature."[5]
