WHEN LOVE KILLS: THE FALICIA BLAKELY STORY Film Reviews

"'When Love Kills' moves along really fast. The story of a down-on-her-luck single mother trying to make it, while getting caught up in drama and violence, is gripping and compelling. It's well written and unfolds organically, with strong performances, camera work, storytelling, and pacing that build to a feverish, twist ending. - Shadow and Act

"This movie's best feature is its telling of the truth in such an honest and vulnerable way that you really feel like you know Falicia Blakely a little bit more than when you read the story back in 2002." - After Buzz TV

"TV One looks to have a solid hit on their hands with their film, 'When Love kills: The Falicia Blakely Story.' The movie follows former stripper and single mother, Falicia Blakely...and her tragic and shocking love tale." - EUR Web
