Editorial reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "BIG LOVE veers away from exploitation to deliver an unusual drama that explores both the normality and the unmentionable of such an existence."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (10/01/2006)
"Although LOVE deals with Utah polygamy, the drama starring Bill Paxton as a man with three wives is surprisingly relatable." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Lynette Rice (11/03/2006)
"[A] fascinatingly skewed, surprisingly complex exploration of the concept of family."
