I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It seems you can make actors do just about anything, regardless how stupid and this film takes the cake. A man condescends to go out with a woman who is in love with Another man to check out if that other man is serious about her.That's when I stopped looking. Instead I began to fantasize about a film that unfortunately has not been filmed yet (and probably never will) about a man who meets a woman with whom he has a sexual relationship in the worst Rocco Siffredi-manner and THEN goes out to dinner in the above mentioned manner.I don't long to see that Movie either since I Believe that women get too humiliated anyway - why would they otherwise try to get rid of their humiliation by putting a man in fool's (harms) way (that's when they tell you they want you to be their friend - some men have found a remedy against that in that they convince such women that friends Always have sexual relationships since that proves their friendship. Later they will not bother much about being friends, provided that the friendship in renewed now and then.)Relationships today are truly very sad. Women get humiliated in sex and then try to sell the humiliation down the river to the next man who is stupid enough to truly love them until he gives up and becomes a swine like all other man today or he just stays the fool which is just as bad.

"Two Lovers" is a movie which has to do with a man who his parents arrange a gathering at their house with another couple who have a beautiful daughter. They want to get to know each other and after that whatever happen is between them. On the other side this man meets and fell in love with another beautiful woman and now he is in a different situation in which he has to decide with who woman he wants to be.I liked this movie because it shows us many things about the personalities of people and how they react when something happen ether is good or bad. I also liked this movie because of the interpretation of Joaquin Phoenix who plays as Leonard Kraditor a man who are in a dilemma, another good interpretation made by Gwyneth Paltrow who plays as Michelle Rausch a woman who Leonard Kraditor is in love. Finally I have to say that this movie's storyline and whole plot is really unpredictable and that is something that I liked very much this movie, strongly recommended.

a film about choices. and sense of search for the best answer to a deep crisis.a picture. about love and escape from yourself. good performance. a great Joaquin Phoenix role. and something else. because the air, the dark images, the crumbs of silence in middle of dialogs are the best parts of movie. and the beautiful work of Phoenix is the wise manner to use it.it is not an original subject and it has not the value of part from common series. story of a solitude in search of answers, slices from a gray existence, it is a story about hope and the solution who makes you part of a link. a reflection film. and almost a parable.

In James Gray's Two Lovers, Leonard (Joaquin Phoenix) is torn between two women, each of whom is right for him, and wrong for him, in different ways. When we meet Leonard, he's jumping into the river in a suicide attempt; he changes his mind at the last minute, struggling to the surface and gasping for air. It's a scene that tells us much of what we need to know about Leonard: This is a man torn between the desire to end the pain in his life, and the equally strong desire to fight against it. Leonard, we come to learn, was engaged to be married, but when he and his fiancée both tested positive for the gene that carries Tay-Sachs syndrome, her family called off the engagement and she disappeared. Leonard's mother, Ruth (Isabella Rossellini), hovers protectively over her only child, trying to help him move on, while at the same time clinging to him with a fierceness that may not be in his best interest.Leonard's parents introduce him to Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), the daughter of a wealthy businessman with whom Leonard's father hopes to strike a partnership. The message from Leonard's father is clear: A marriage between Leonard and Sandra would be good for the family business, and Leonard's parents would be thrilled to see their son move on from his failed engagement to a marriage with Sandra, a nice Jewish girl with whom Leonard could produce cute little Jewish grandchildren. At the same time, though, Leonard meets Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow), a blond, leggy shiksa goddess who's the antithesis of everything Leonard's parents desire for their son in a match.
