"Love and Demons is by writer-director by J.P. Allen, who is staking out his own particular area of cinema ... It's a cinema that is up front about its storytelling, that doesn't try to make you forget that you're watching a movie. As in the theater, Allen will use direct address, with characters talking into the camera about what they're thinking and feeling. At the same time, there's a lyrical quality, both in the writing and the camera work, with sequences that are dreamy and elliptical.
This is adventurous filmmaking. Uninhibited by a tight budget, Allen is pursuing a specific and distinct vision; and for the most part, he's succeeding. This is a director worth watching."
– Mick LaSalle, SF Chronicle
“Sexy, mischievous, and provocative, Love and Demons is a singular moviegoing experience.”
– Bernard Boo, Way Too Indie
