Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Rosamund Witcher (11) for Heat Magazine (77) on 28 Mar 2009

Moving, candid study of love and choices. But, if you want escapism, you're probably better off with Marley & Me…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 27 Mar 2009

As with his other films, Gray revels in placing his characters in an oppressive milieu, and he keeps the mood downbeat here…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 27 Mar 2009

It's almost always either night or at least dusk, and Gray's heartsick main character seems to suck in the darkness like oxygen…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 27 Mar 2009

The movie feels operatic at times. Tempestuous arias play on the soundtrack, and Puccini figures directly…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Trevor Johnston (624) for Time Out (7,510) on 27 Mar 2009

Gray's direction lovingly toys with images of containment and release, effectively playing out the drama in visual terms - but we never really…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 27 Mar 2009

Kraditor's vacillating affections make up what could have been a frustratingly underpowered drama but for Gray's subtle, intelligent direction…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 27 Mar 2009

Everything about Leonard's Jackie-v-Marilyn dilemma is socked over with Gray's trademark sincerity, but I found it difficult to credit, and…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 27 Mar 2009

Love is a selfish animal here, one Gray dissects coldly and perhaps too neatly - he forecloses on any chance of happiness…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Patrick Marmion (5) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 27 Mar 2009

For all its oddity, and despite falling short of full-on David Lynch-style weirdness, it has a sweetness and warmth that makes it worth the effort…

By Mark Adams (368) for Sunday Mirror (UK) (89) on 27 Mar 2009

Stylish drama fails to set the pulses racing…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

A moving, thoughtful and complex look at the nature of lovesickness, our star gives the performance of his life…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 27 Mar 2009

But good acting transcends motivational lesions. Before Phoenix, especially, and his raw, real, fumbling neediness we simply say Yes, we believe…

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 27 Mar 2009

It never feels quite believable, though Phoenix is touching in the central role…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Ann Lee (18) for Metro (UK) (700) on 27 Mar 2009

Although at times Phoenix's impression of an overgrown Kevin the Teenager threatens to derail the film's subtlety, it still makes for a satisfying…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 27 Mar 2009

Engaging, watchable drama with terrific performances from Phoenix, Paltrow and Shaw, though it doesn't quite pack the emotional punch you're…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 27 Mar 2009

A strong story is given weight and meaning by some especially vivid acting, but a too-mainstream approach to the edgy subject matter leaves…

Review of Two Lovers (1928)

If this is it for Joaquin Phoenix's film career, at least he's going out the right way…

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 20 Mar 2009
