3 stars out of 4 -- "Bravely wearing his heart on his sleeve, James Gray directs the tender and terrific TWO LOVERS as an antidote to the virus of the hip....Phoenix, in one of his best performances, finds the bruised romantic in Leonard Kraditor."Rolling Stone "[Alvarez] weaves the threads of her town masterfully, incorporating its characters' ancient habits and unadulterated spirits with aplomb."Box Office "TWO LOVERS is an involving, gently paced and well-cast drama about a tortured soul and his efforts at redemption....Joaquin Phoenix gives a superbly raw and excruciatingly vulnerable performance..."USA Today "[I]ts palette of emotions, like its rich and somber 35-millimeter cinematography, departs from the hand-held, hi-def, discursive style associated with directors like Joe Swanberg and Aaron Katz, harking back to an older, artistically more conservative film tradition of lush, earnest melodrama."New York Times "Themes of loneliness, alienation and unrequited love are not new, but there is always that sense of the unexpected in Phoenix that keeps you curious....Phoenix is at his best with Paltrow's bruised sparrow of a girl..."Los Angeles Times "This is an inspired performance by a superb actor in an elegantly grave romantic drama..."Wall Street Journal "Mopey, sallow, and nearly mute, Leonard seems a fatally broken man. But Phoenix, in a feat of acting that keeps revealing new layers, gives him mordant flashes of insight and sex appeal." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly "The movie's chief value is to preserve Phoenix at the height of his wary physical grace, which recalls a young Marlon Brando."Washington Post "TWO LOVERS is anything but traditional, romantic or a comedy. It is a film of unusual perception, played at perfect pitch by Phoenix, Shaw, Paltrow and the other actors."Chicago Sun-Times 4 stars out of 5 -- "Maverick filmmaker James Gray's rare, special film feels like the best kind of modern love story: one that could have taken place anywhere at any time....Powered all the way by a full cast of emotional, compulsive performances."Total Film 3 stars out of 5 -- "A straight-forward love story that has some really good performances, a few nice twists, and seems genuine and heartfelt."Premiere Included in Los Angeles Times's "Best Films Of 2009" -- "There's nothing quite like the elegant performance pieces small films can give you."Los Angeles Times6.155314
