[A] meaningful exploration of the possibilities and the limits within any relationship. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly 11/17/2005
The three participants are so banal, their childlike motives so transparently egotistical -- it's not inconceivable that they got together because their first names all begin with s -- you want to shake them. Go to Full Review
David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 05/07/2020
...an astringent but entertaining wake-up call to what's possible in the brave new world of universal marriage. Go to Full Review
Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International 03/01/2007

06/18/2013 You are the ultimate voyeur in this three way..an attempt to have a family with three parents and an uneasy balancing act between two partners. You had to know that it would go off the rails but it is nonetheless something to behold. See more 04/27/2009 Loved it, but really sad See more 03/07/2009 What an amazing 8 years of footage for this documentary! They follow the lives of three people (two men and one woman) who decide to live together! In his early 20's, Sam Cagnina, the oldest son of a mafia hit man, meets Steven, a good looking 19 year old college student and they fall in love. They spend the next seven years looking for a woman they could both fall in love with..then they find that special someone in Samantha, a struggling actress, who falls in love with one of them and agrees to live with them in a trio relationship. You can't miss this remarkable true story that explores one unique family as they negotiate their living arrangements, have children and open one of the hottest wellness centers in New York City! With amazingly candid discussions about love, sex and partnership, the trio turns to the camera and reveals every aspect of their lives to both the audience and eventually to themselves. Added to my private collection! See more 01/02/2009 its an interesting story, but you can pretty much get the picture from the trailer. See more 12/21/2007 I loved this movie...mostly because it gave other options then the norm for relationships and also the 3 people are really interesting and complex..a real thinking movie See more 12/04/2007 My only complaint about this is that it wasn't longer, really. Well done, respectful, awesome documentary. Wish there was more. See more Read all reviews
