Reception

Contemporary British and Irish Film Directors: a Wallflower Critical Guide, panned the film, calling it a formulaic romantic comedy that was "obviously" filmed on a very small budget. The review makes note of problems with cinematography, sound, script, and direction, summarizing "Loop reminds you that good films are increasingly hard to make, and with countless projects languishing in development or distribution hell, it is difficult to see how this ever made it to the production line."
