... it's instructive to view director/co-writer ... James Gray's take on the effects of private infidelity.

Please, don't be fooled by this. It's all showboating scenes, pretentious ideals and NO realism whatsoever.

Gray's direction lovingly toys with images of containment and release, effectively playing out the drama in visual terms - but we never really feel it.

Tells a pretty old story but gets you hooked on its atmosphere and how it embellishes the heady sensation of shedding the coldness of solitude and depression with the warmth of walking through a new romance.

If Two Lovers winds up being Phoenix's last movie, at least it offers posterity incontrovertible proof that, once, he was a contender.

What made the filmmakers come up with such a 1959 scenario? Better yet, how did they make this hoary plot so damned entertaining? Must be movie magic.

Phoenix plays that schism -- the damaged soul in a hunky body -- to perfection, so well that we overlook the logical chasm at the centre of the tale.

I can't stop thinking about Leonard, how I want him to be free, living an authentic life ... but also to to remain under supervision so he won't mess himself up. Phoenix is brilliant here.

Phoenix's performance overwhelms the slight story.
