Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 11/17/2011
2.5/4
The film is successful in an absorbing sort of way, but underwhelming. Go to Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times 11/03/2011
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 10/21/2011
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Julian Lytle Ignorant Bliss 01/11/2020
B
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. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 01/18/2013

The movie's too sleek and chilly and doesn't exactly call to mind a warm, romantic comedy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/28/2015 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. See more 09/09/2015 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. See more 05/08/2014 Amazing and thought provoking. Challenging the conventional social norm of relationships. See more 10/29/2013 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. See more 08/31/2013 Retomando el cine aleman See more 07/20/2013 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.
