Heather V The beginning made me consider abandoning this one and I'm glad that I didn't. Early in, I began to suspect that the writer was so bothered by his inability to connect the scattered pieces of his manuscript, that he had gone a little mad. A good deal in, the title began to make sense to me, in that, writing in the third person gave him the freedom to reveal himself safely. SPOILERS FOLLOW: The many situations that his characters acted out would not have been done; they were too cartoonish for the dire circumstances. I stopped trying to convince myself that I was off track and settled down to wait for the surprise clincher moment that would disentangle everything. It did take awhile for me to see that he was living out hs own trials and tribulations through his characters. By now, my forward posture and white knuckles had setteled in. Regarding women, he was struggling with an outrageous love-hate syndrome that had fallen upon him somehow, from somewhere, and I hoped that we viewers wouldn't be left hanging. We weren't. My final ah-ha was his resolution; he had created an unusual way to come to terms with his devastating guilt. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Asa H An incredibly boring and silly "relationship drama" with a plot that literally does nothing and goes nowhere...Following three different people in their lives, none of which you are tempted to care about. Nothing at all sticks together, is remotely realistic, engaging. Maybe very good for film school students to learn what not to do... I did really like this critics review however: "A pretentious wreck of a movie that severely tests the patience." Also.. Olivia Wilde is probably the most unwatchable actor I have ever seen.. in any generation. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Nooway N An unengaging rubbish movie that shows how to fail with a brilliant ensemble cast. Could have been so much more Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review N K DULL. Olivia Wilde just seems like a crazy, dull person and her acting brings nothing to this. The story overlaps are all disjointed and boring. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review John A I preferred this over the writer/director's claim-to-fame 'Crash' which, like this film, unabashedly wasted an ensemble cast. However the 'Third Person' is so muddled I'm not even sure what has transpired in the 2 hour and 17 minute runtime that really felt like 3 or 4 hours. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Jake C It really felt like they were trying to make this movie as thought provoking as possible but fell flat on how the writing was together.
