Movie Reviews of Two Girls and a Guy
Movie Review: One of my all-time Favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I just looked up this film on a lark as I'd seen it a number of years ago... given the mixed/neg reviews, I figured I should put in a couple cents here, give this film its due 5 stars.
It would be a terrific exercise/experiment/experience to know enough of each person to contextualize why they did or did not like this film. I actually typically find I like films that sprawl across cities and countries, epic of backdrop. But what was so fantastic about this film is that it was epic of performance, of communication, of a different landscape of love than one normally encounters in films.
I suppose, cinematographically (sp), it unfolds like a expanded play or a focused Mamet film. I remember exclaiming, during a particularly heated argument-communication, "that's how it IS!" -- there were just so many incredibly authentic relationship-communication details in a movie largely about deceits (self and other) and truths.
I believe I saw the film "Jules et Jim" after this (although it is much older) but was terrifically excited to see the fim poster for "Jules et Jim" hanging on a wall in Downey's apt. Ok, point. The POINT is that this film is ultimately an exploration of the complexities and vagaries of love and sexuality. Not that this film was a successful (or intentional) treatment of polyamory of open/liberated love, it did touch upon this possibility in a way I appreciated.
Ok, ok, so I haven't seen it in awhile but, at the time, I saw it probably 4 or 5 times. If you're really interested in relationship dynamics; if you're interested in seeing communication and conversations that have an air of reality and authenticity (better than reality shows, imho, because there is still an intentionality to the direction...like distilled reality gems); if you're intrigued by the full range and manifestation relationships can take; if you love Robert Downey Jr. and want to see an intimate performance; if you have crushes on Heather Graham or Natasha Gregson Wagner (I do! although I'm not sure I can spell her name)...then this movie is for you.
When we look at a film of relationships and say "that's not how it is," it is possibly because we're comparing it to the limited depictions of relationships we've so far seen on screen. The reality of relationships is that they are crazier than we can dream of, I daresay. Right? People loving people is really, in ways, a forefront of human evolution... the lengths we're willing to go to, the energy, the rises, the falls...we push ourselves in ways we would not have thought, watching ourselves, we ever would.
