A tax inspector (Benoît Poelvoorde), his new bride and her sister become entwined in a love triangle.

Critics Consensus

3 Hearts skips a few narrative beats, but this thoroughly French romance is brought to life by the full-blooded performances of a first-rate cast.

Philadelphia Inquirer

It leaves behind a nagging feeling, a suggestion there's more to the story than its story.

Rated: 2.5/4

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Despite a slow start and jarring narration, "3 Hearts" entertains with its melodramatic amour fou.

Rated: 3/4

A tasteful, mildly intriguing romantic drama from writer-director Benot Jacquot.

Nicholas Bell

IONCINEMA.com

A melodrama of a love made impossible by conscious choices, Jacquot's latest exists in a familiar vein of vintage offerings, enhanced by a first rate cast in another of the director's exercises in repression and its consequences.

Rated: 3/5

Ultimately, there are too many confusing and laughable stylistic choices that make 3 Hearts anything but forgettable.

I did not feel anybody's heart beating ... but those strings kept me moderately invested in a pair of sisters and the moppet tax inspector they loved.

Too slow not enough happened. Deneuve and Chaira were wasted. Charlotte was enigmatic for no reason. What did she do for a living?

This film had a lot of elements that I crave, lots of character development, slow moving plot, no stunt doubles or violence. It illustrates the weaknesses in human character and no one can be fully trusted. It did keep my interest and the ending spared us a long drawn out demise. The main character had almost no connections to anyone, not even a real home or a brother who cared much for him yet he was able to get in the middle of the most beautiful sisterly love. It is such a shame. There is some ambiguity so the ending is up to interpretation.

Never has someone as unworthy as the character of Marc been unbelievably the center of a love triangle with Sylvie and Sophie. That said, the cinematography is gorgeous and the ladies of this cast are all amazing.

The lead actors did a good job and the plot was unmistakably French but unfortunately predictable and the sound track a lil distracting.
