Reception
The film has a score of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although the film garnered attention due to its high-profile cast, it received generally negative reviews. Ben Abraham of Letterboxd said that 'The Loss Adjuster' was a "boring and empty low budget Christmas film" as well as criticising it for being "poorly constructed both narratively and technically, filled with woefully shoddy editing [...] making it a very tough film to engage with". Kat Halstead of Common Sense Media was a little more sympathetic saying that despite several uses of mild language, "..many of the situations in the movie are serious [but] there are some warm and funny moments to lighten the tone". Despite this, 'The Loss Adjuster' toured cinema festivals worldwide where it picked up awards including Best Feature Film at both the New York Movie Awards and the Florence Film Awards while Joan Collins won Best Lead Actress at the East Europe International Film Festival and Franz Pagot won Best Cinematography in a Feature Film, while Luke Goss and Cathy Tyson were nominated for Best Lead Actor and Best Supporting Actress respectively at the same awards.
