Review of Third Person (2014) by Tvjerry — 12 Jul 2014
This latest from Paul Haggis (best known as the writer/director of "Crash") follows a similar multi-level structure. Three couples play out tragic stories in 3 cities (New York, Rome, Paris), each centering around the loss of a child.
The impressive cast (Liam Neeson, James Franco, Adrien Brody, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde) turns in deep performances, but it's the script that leaves you wanting. It sets up a number of compelling complex situations (and even tosses in some reality defying twists), but none of it resolves in a gratifying conclusion.
I kept waiting for the dramatic revelations, but all I got was flawed characters who suffered interestingly.
