Jan Dawson Sight & Sound Mar 19, 2020
Would be a far better film if it could only decide which of three lanes it wanted to drive in - comedy, farce or philosophical comment. Go to Full Review

4/4
A Hollywood-style romance between beautiful people, and an honest story about recognizable human beings. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Jan 23, 2015
4/5
With Two for the Road... Donen took a romantic comedy and deconstructed it, using the nonlinear structure and jump cuts that were being popularised at the time by the French new wave. Go to Full Review

A fierce and funny dissection of a marriage in trouble. Go to Full Review

9/10
Despite the intermittent tragedies, the ending is powerfully heartfelt, smartly repeating an artistic motif that ties up the whole mixed-up storyline. Go to Full Review
Joyce Melba Los Angeles Free Press Feb 3, 2020
The influence is clearly Nouveau Vague - specifically, it apes A Man and A Woman and even the theme music by Mancini resembles the haunting score of that French movie. No matter. Two for the Road rings true. Go to Full Review

Alejandra O @RT07265558 Jan 14, 2025 Perhaps Audrey Hepburn’s most intimate film. See more Apr 20, 2024 Audrey Hepburn commands the screen and Albert Finney somehow holds his own brilliantly opposite her. See more CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Jul 2, 2023 Unsuccessful comedy drama , that when it connects, has moments that are watchable, The confusing use of cross cutting, back and forth, over 4 different vacations taken by Finney and Hepburn, was annoying, But after awhile, it works, as the tone turns bittersweet, Alongside the slapstick comedy, relationship disillusion starts, and so do extra marital affairs, With the 5th vacation, they attempt to rekindle their marriage, Director Stanley Donen mostly fails in using New Wave filmmaking techniques, but nice bonus, seeing Jacqueline Bisset in a small role, See more Farah R @Farah May 2, 2023 Only one word can describe my feelings while watching this film: bored. Not a single moment excited me even a little from start to finish. My focus constantly shifted to the slightest disturbance as the film failed to captivate me. The story is bland, the characters are flat, and the ending is unsatisfactory. Two For the Road is a major pass. See more Brent A @BrentAprill45 Feb 22, 2023 10% rating .... Really struggled to maintain any interest in the storyline. See more Rare T @RT00283363 Sep 25, 2022 It doesn't matter how mixed up the scenes can get with the non-linear direction chosen for this movie, the end result is something delightful. It really is digestible and doesn't go for an esoteric approach as with movies of similar plots that act deep by trying to be something they're not. On the contrary, Two for the Road portrays married life with the least bit of pretentiousness. And above all, Stanley Donen treats us to some beautiful cinematography, with all its great views, the era it was shot in, the transitions, and the colors, which in turn accentuate the different looks of Audrey Hepburn, who was vivacious as she excelled at every character trait throughout the different time periods. Of course, all of this would still render the movie incomplete without Albert Finney's palpable input and the amazing chemistry he demonstrates with Audrey. See more Read all reviews
