    Two Lovers is A Brooklyn-set romantic drama about a bachelor (Phoenix) torn between the family friend his parents wish he would marry and his beautiful but volatile new neighbor. It is a movie about how love sometimes make you feel miserable. The movie is really interesting, you ...( read more)can feel the tension and the anxiety from the character performed by Joaquin Phoenix. It follows a slow pace rhythm but it never falls into boredom. The locations are really good because they shew you a New York that not everybody knows. The cast is wonderful Joaquin Phoenix is excellent, he delivers a very credible performance, Gwyneth Paltrow is awesome, this role fits her really good, Isabella Rosellini as Phoenix mother is delightful and Vinessa Shaw as Sandra is also great. In conclusion, Two Lovers is a movie worthy of a chance to see.

    Lately most movies have bored me to tears, an although this idea's been done many times before, it effectively captured my interest. Great characters, and even though Joaquin's character is kinda crappy, you really just want the best things for him and to have it all work out.

    Hardly original but sleek and engaging romantic drama. I found the New York jewish setting tiresome but Phoenix repays Gray's fascination with him with another solid performance. Some of the plot points seemed unbelievable and the ending in particular felt contrived.

    I liked this Movie, Phoenix was really good in it I thought, but Vinessa Shaw was the best part of this movie. I wish they would have had her as the lead and not the second fiddle. Still love you Gwyneth!

    Romanesque, elegant, ambivalent et presque boulversant.

Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

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

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The film is all about creating a mood, and it hangs over you for days. Love dating UK

[A] compact, compassionate portrait of a man struggling to define himself and his own understanding of happiness. Teens Ass

February 26, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A film of unusual perception, played at perfect pitch by Phoenix, Shaw, Paltrow and the other actors. It is calm and mature. It understands these characters. It doesn't juggle them for melodrama, but ... Huge Dildos

Anthony Lane, New Yorker

However moody, Two Lovers didn't strike me as a downer, for the simple reason that it wells with sights and sounds that are guaranteed to lift, not sink, the spirits. Download Proposal The Movie

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

A beautifully made romantic drama that provides a great showcase for the acting talents of Joaquin Phoenix in what he claims will be his last role. Sexy dating UK

A.O. Scott, New York Times

Though it is set in the present, Two Lovers takes place in what often feels like an earlier incarnation of New York. Gay dating UK

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Bravely wearing his heart on his sleeve, James Gray directs the tender and terrific Two Lovers as an antidote to the virus of hip. Skinny teens

Claudia Puig, USA Today

An involving, gently paced and well-cast drama about a tortured soul and his efforts at redemption. Download Adobe Dreamweaver CS3

February 9, 2009
David Edelstein, New York Magazine

Although Paltrow is radiant (and she nails the character's ditzy sense of entitlement), it's Phoenix's movie. He is, once again, stupendous, and stupendous in a way he has never been before. Gay dating UK
