Critics Reviews

Simran Hans New Statesman What's striking about this particular entry in the Phoenix-as-isolated-eccentric canon is its flavour of defeated animal loneliness. Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker Joaquin Phoenix stars-and delivers his most self-scourging performance-in James Gray's taut and melancholy Brighton Beach romance. Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine No film has captured how we idealize others in relationships better than Two Lovers. Rated: 9.5/10 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Gray gives us nothing to cling to emotionally, and so he leaves the audience floating in the indifference of open space, hoping for something worthwhile to happen that might make us care.

Audience Reviews

helder f This is a story that is way too well known to many lovers. Like the song goes, everyone plays the fool sometimes. One watches the movie like one would watch a friend or even one's past self makes mistakes for loving the wrong person. And scene after scene we know the story will not end well… the characters and their flaws are really clear. In that movie is very successful. The problem I had with the movie is that just like in real life the story is repetitive and tedious for those who are not involved in. We see the characters and their dramas very well and very early in the movie , so that after that, the movie just drags somehow. Having said that, the end is a bit surprising. Both Michelle and Leonard have interesting similarities. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Hossein M Everything works out in the end :) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Jeremy M Maybe I'm biased towards a lot of things in this film, but it really hit home with me. Would definitely recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Aaron S This is a very intriguing romantic drama that focuses more on the emotional health of its interesting characters more than their love stories. Joaquin Phoenix's Leonard feels like a little kid sometimes. Completely unable to understand his emotions and desires and seems to blow with the wind despite where it may lead him. His love interests are a little less complex but are still well conceived characters with their own motivations and are just plot pieces for Leonard's story. Overall, Two Lovers is good and worth a watch, but not a must-see by any means. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review GM M It's very good but I wished he'd kept walking. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review isla s This is quite nice, subtle romantic drama. Joaquin gives a good, low key performance and the characters are interesting - they all have their own issues, good and bad points. There's some shaky camerawork and its a bit slow to build, plot pace wise I suppose but I enjoyed watching it and I thought it was a good film. I recommend this film, yes.
