Rarely has movie love been handled with both the dreamy indulgence and the cynicism that James Grey pulls off in Two Lovers . It’s a pity that the film, which premiered nine months ago at Cannes and is now rolling out on VOD and in theaters via Magnolia, has been pegged in time as the ...

Here's Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman later tonight,
either stoned out of his mind or just medically
catatonic (or both). Letterman makes several heroic efforts to politely prompt Phoenix before ruthlessly mocking him. Again, celebrities: Dave ...

Q. Has Joaquin Phoenix lost it, or what?
Greg Nelson, Chicago A. I watched him on "Letterman"
and was appalled. There are theories that he was deep in the character of his new hip-hop persona, behaving strangely for his buddy Casey Affleck's new ...

Some Came Running —
... less objectionable objection—but still not one I'm currently buying. Because my perception of what the whole film is actually about has shifted. Regarding my citation of "ache-filled romanticism," well, there's a element of that here, but not nearly as much as I believed I detected via the "it's-all-about-me" refraction I initially viewed the picture through. No, what makes Two Lovers really special is its ambivalence. Karina Longworth at Spout, whose analysis of the film's emotional/color palette is spot on, thinks the film ...
