Reviews for Two Drifters
1 - 14 (sorted by date)
An overwrought weepie, it may be inspired by the recent dramas of Pedro Almodóvar, but it comes off as Almodóvar Lite -- muy lite.
09/01/06
Top CriticThe tone here is slightly absurd and sometimes even sweet.
08/31/06
Climaxing with a union as heartfelt as it is perverse, the movie asserts with eccentric force the belief that love knows no bounds, be they physical, spiritual or sensible.
08/25/06
Top CriticDirector Joăo Pedro Rodrigues has a poetic visual sense, but the novice actors remain so frozen in deer-in-headlights reaction shots, it’s all but impossible to get onboard for their predicaments.
08/24/06
Neither sentimental nor cruel, yet touching and trenchant, the movie sustains a profound ambivalence right up to the final shot.
08/19/06
Top CriticAn arresting and lucid study of how gay men and straight women often compete for the same objects of lust, the same velvety nostalgias for a certain vision of love.
07/28/06
I don't get it.
07/21/06
Top CriticThis movie doesn't have enough heart or energy to inspire wonder -- with a weak script, utterly unsympathetic characters and a nonsensical plot, it can barely keep plodding along.
07/20/06
Top CriticThough the film contains many haunting images, the absence of a solid emotional foundation makes its increasingly preposterous story developments feel arbitrary and ultimately pointless.
06/23/06
It's hard to say what's worse in the strange Portuguese drama Two Drifters: the insufferable wordless stretches, or the sudsy dialogue.
06/23/06
Top CriticArriving from Portugal, this ludicrous melodrama of female hysteria is an oddly compelling bit of cinematic folly.
06/20/06
Top CriticLike O Fantasma, perhaps the scariest and finest film ever made about the compulsion of gay desire, Two Drifters' sensual-spiritual plumbing is totally off-the-map.
06/16/06
A tiresomely silly film that suffers from overacting and an overwritten script.
