Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The film is successful in an absorbing sort of way, but underwhelming. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times Tykwer's script is structured so that the audience knows more about the characters' connections than they do. As each faces a midlife crisis/turning point, fate sometimes appears to be calling the shots. Rated: 3/4 Nov 3, 2011 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Tykwer can't seem to turn Hanna, Simon and Adam into real people. They feel like pawns in the service of a more cerebral diversion than the game of life. Rated: 2/4 Oct 21, 2011 Full Review Julian Lytle Ignorant Bliss Overall 3 is a very engaging film with it's look on a long standing relationship. There is no real Hollywood type of way they solve their issues or have epiphanies about problems in their lives at the right perfect moment. Rated: B Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: C Jan 18, 2013 Full Review Richard Knight Knight at the Movies The movie's too sleek and chilly and doesn't exactly call to mind a warm, romantic comedy.

Audience Member Absolutely loved it! The movie shows humans as individual creatures. Humans are not seen as 'the same type multiplied', but rather as something that is constantly developing, changing and moving. Very smooth role play. At times one may question some why's, however it ends up questioning one's own life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A romance triangle never before told and pray that this movie is not foretelling a new idea of an extended family where there may exist no more sexual boundaries. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing and thought provoking. Challenging the conventional social norm of relationships. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting and sexy film with nice character development and fine acting. It suffers a little from wanting to say too much and becomes somewhat pretentious at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Retomando el cine aleman Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member it's weird. it kinda has a bland taste left in the mouth in retrospect (like, looking back, it looks kind of basic), but at the time, it was encapsulating and fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
