Warm and bright and colorful, a real charmer as easy to inhabit as Cas� slips into her character.

[Case's] dazzling smile and surprising physical grace make Darlene into a primal force in the lives of these three men.

It has been made and acted with intelligence and evident love, which deserves to be requited.

The big screen hasn't shown us a more earthy, commanding woman since Italy's iconic Anna Magnani made her stand.

So generally downbeat that it's difficult to stay awake, let alone laugh, cry, or cheer.

Al�m da bela fotografia de Breno Silveira e da soberba trilha sonora de Gilberto Gil, 'Eu, Tu, Eles' ainda traz atua��es realmente inesquec�veis de todo o elenco.

One might argue that "Me You Them" could perhaps use a small infusion of MTV-style editing but this director trusts the material to unfold at the pace it requires.

As if to prove the thesis that people in the developed world are unhappy, while those in poorer countries are less so, hot on the heels of 'Expired' we watched this excellent movie from Brazil. Life is very hard, and Darlene still manages to set up home with three men, and they and their children all get along very well indeed. What a super film.

*** (out of four) Based on an amusing and surprising true story about a woman who has three husbands. Each of them are able to enhance her live in some way. She has picked three very different men to quench her various moods and desires. Amusing and light-hearted.
