Review For Two Lovers
Phoenix plays that schism -- the damaged soul in a hunky body -- to perfection, so well that we overlook the logical chasm at the centre of the tale.Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Gray guides his strong cast to a resolution that is both surprising and entirely realistic.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star
If Two Lovers winds up being Phoenix's last movie, at least it offers posterity incontrovertible proof that, once, he was a contender.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
What elevates Two Lovers beyond the mundane is the strength of the performances.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Phoenix's performance overwhelms the slight story.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
Very little is explicit. The audience is left to infer much from spotty information, and yet a full and specific picture emerges. We are never in doubt of the truth of the characters and the absolute solidity of the world being depicted.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
What made the filmmakers come up with such a 1959 scenario? Better yet, how did they make this hoary plot so damned entertaining? Must be movie magic.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Please, don't be fooled by this. It's all showboating scenes, pretentious ideals and NO realism whatsoever.
Mike Edwards-What Culture
I can't stop thinking about Leonard, how I want him to be free, living an authentic life ... but also to to remain under supervision so he won't mess himself up. Phoenix is brilliant here.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
We know the characters better than they know themselves
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
... it's instructive to view director/co-writer ... James Gray's take on the effects of private infidelity.
S. James Wegg-JWR
Tells a pretty old story but gets you hooked on its atmosphere and how it embellishes the heady sensation of shedding the coldness of solitude and depression with the warmth of walking through a new romance.
Jeffrey Chen-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Lugubrious affair involving a young man suffering from weltschmerz and the two women he loves set in Brighton Beach.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
This is supposed to be a romantic drama, but Woody Allen could have made a very funny film out of this exact same story.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Trying, unwieldy, and affecting
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
While watching Phoenix mumbling in a stupor on Letterman is perversely entertaining, it's a lot more edifying to watch him give what he says is his final acting performance in director James Gray's 'Two Lovers.'
Dan Lybarger-eFilmCritic.com
A custom fit character for edgy Joaquin, a laundry drone who gets taken to the cleaners in this love the one you're with sordid triangle, where a grownup romantic adventure is the same as running away from home.
Prairie Miller-NewsBlaze
Joaquin Phoenix is bruised, raw ... and miscast in the otherwise compelling Two Lovers
Christian Toto-What Would Toto Watch?
A moving ode to loneliness and regret, chockablock with sensualist and observational grace notes.
Ed Gonzalez-Slant Magazine
The film never feels dark or gloom-laden. The performances are so sensitive, so convincing, that we are drawn inescapably into a real world of pain and solace.
Evan Williams-The Australian
