editRelease
editThe film was not released in New York until 1988. The New York Times said "Nothing happens in Loose Connections that isn't announced ahead of time, but the movie is very decently acted by Mr. Rea and especially by Miss Duncan... The film... is bright, articulate, gentle and completely unsurprising."[6]
Filmink argued "everyone involved was very talented but the movie didn't quite click."[3]
