When I watched this movie, I really had no idea it would be Joaquin Phoenix's last movie. In the mean time, he is luckily back from retirement. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good like all other movies directed by James Gray. The movie has a rather amazing mood (even though the whole thing is rather depressing) and was really well shot. Joaquin Phoenix delivered an amazing performance and even Gw... read more

We foolishly went to see this thinking it was a bit of an easy Sunday night film. WARNING - it is not.

Joaquin mumbles
Gwen flashes a boob

The end result is so depressing you will end up with no hope in true love and want to top yourself.

"Rarely does a flick truly capture how fucked up relationships can make you act. Sometimes you just lose your mind and you know you shouldn't do a certain something but it doesn't matter, you can't help it. "

"I had never heard of this one, so I looked over the description of this movie and added it to my netflix queue. Sometimes it's more fun to go on a walkabout with tag, movie and actor titles. After all, I probably wouldn't have heard of or found "Two Lovers" if I hadn't decided to just go in a random direction. Also, I still have the choice to watch the other movies I looked over to get to this one. In this process, I looked over two lists, two actresses, and three movies. It only took a few m"

"James Gray did a great job here! The directing is so elegant, the story's treated in such an unconventional way, the main character is so refined and fascinating, and the all thing is greatly interpreted... This is an incredibly delicate and "human" film; I'm not gonna say it's a great love-story 'cause that's not what it is, this is actually a great story about 'love' in a wider, more abstract, deep and personal sense; there's the need of being loved, the need to feel less lonely thanks to some"

A good movie

“When I watched this movie, I really had no idea it would be Joaquin Phoenix's last movie. In the mean time, he is luckily back from retirement. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good like all other movies directed by James Gray. The movie has a rather amazing mood (even though the whole thing is rather depressing) and was really well shot. Joaquin Phoenix delivered an amazing performance and even Gwyneth Paltrow displayed she could be a terrific actress, in spite of what most of us think. The story is nothing really original but it gave an interesting turn to the triangle romantic dilemma. It is a rather grim romantic drama and many viewers won't appreciate it but I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look.” read more
