Two Lovers
The House Next Door —
... The buried themes in James Gray's fourth film, Two Lovers, slowly emerge from its accumulation of quotidian, seemingly small details. After impulsively jumping off a bridge in the first scene, misfit Leonard (Joaquin Phoenix) enters a cozy apartment in Brighton Beach, still wet, and we see Isabella Rossellini's Ruth in the dining room. The casting here is key; I assumed she was playing Phoenix's slightly older girlfriend. When it becomes clear that the helplessly sexy Rossellini is playing Phoenix's mother, Two Lovers resoundingly inaugurates a ...

Hollywood Elsewhere —
... , which is fairly well written and comprehensive if I do say so myself: Two Lovers is attractively composed and persuasively acted but, for me, a slightly too earnest and on-the-nose drama about romantic indecision. But it's not half bad -- a little Marty -ish at times, maybe a bit too emphatic here and there, but nonetheless concise, reasonably well-ordered and, for the most part, emotionally restrained and therefore believable. Unlike Gray's The Yards and We Own The Night , there's no criminal behavior in Two Lovers , and the absence of this -- no resorting to gunplay, ...

... will likely change with time and whose appreciation will grow with additional viewings. This marks the coming of age of a great talent in American cinema and one I hope won’t be forgotten before he’s clearly recognized. Two Lovers made it’s way to DVD on Tuesday, June 30th and the release includes a director’s commentary and an interesting HDNet preview of the film which includes a short but interesting interview with Gray.
