I'm Losing You (film)

Critics noted the film's "certain visual elegance and tonal control", but said its grim subject matter would only be appealing to a specialized audience.^[5][7] Janet Maslin of The New York Times noted that the film pares down much of the material from the novel and said it doesn't "quite hang together", but "it does capture the black humor and mournful angst at the heart of the material".^[2] She concluded, "Wagner successfully echoes his book's bleak resonance, but his straightforward ability with a camera is no match for what he can do on the page. He does give the film a cool, calculated look that preserves its discreet mournfulness and saves it from emotional overkill."^[2]

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote, "Joyless, morbid, and frequently over-written (at one point Arquette informs an acquaintance that she 'was into Coleridge and the Cabala before either were trendy'), I'm Losing You seems intent on rubbing its viewers' faces in the pain and degradation of contemporary life. Equal parts bleak soap opera, pitch-black comedy, and morose meditation on the nature of death, I'm Losing You is as compelling as it is repugnant and sorrowful."^[8]

Producer Pamela Koffler was awarded with the Producers Award at the 15th Independent Spirit Awards for her work on the film.^[9]
