I had pretty high expectations for this movie since I generally like movies with Paltrow and Phoenix, but I found it very unbelieveable with a story that was so amateur it was hard to believe the writer was out of high... Full review

Prepare yourself to feel emotionally drained because TWO LOVERS is a drama that aims to make your heart feel very, very heavy after watching it but… I do admire the acting and the concept which will make you think and re-think... Full review

This is an outstanding movie. I believed in the characters, all of whom were presented sympathetically - unique for a movie like this. The characters are not stereotypes, and behave in ways that while natural are not expected. It is also... Full review

Predictable developments unfold with sunny good humour.....while he becomes obsessively devoted to neighbour Gwyneth Paltrow.....O'Horten Life begins at 67 in this disarmingly deadpan Norwegian tale of second chances and new beginnings.....His quest for love is the basis of a polished but unpersuasive tale..... ...

This is the basis for the appropriately named film "Two Lovers".....While the ending is partially predictable, there's enough of a twist to keep it from being a disappointment....As a whole, the script works very well as a character study.... ... Full Review

Phoenix should have been more grateful but, much like Leonard, he was seemingly too self-absorbed to recognise the love he was being offered.....It's a great, grown-up role for the actor..... ... Full Review

The result creates a watchable, intelligent film....And that is the mark of interesting, if unrewarding, filmmaking.....The film is an incredibly well-made, somber film about love, loss....not you embrace the story Gray wants to tell you.....Phoenix is fantastic as always --.... ... Full Review

PopMatters
In addition, they will get to see an intriguing movie....The backup cast is great, too.....The acting, especially Phoenix's, is top-notch.....Isabella Rosillini and Moni Moshonov are warm and engaging as Leonard's parents.... ... Full Review
