Gregory S Shame that Finney was cast as Mark Wallace because he's simply not a quality "actor" (is he even one -- an actor?) and has zero (actually, sub zero) on-screen chemistry with Hepburn. Yes, I've read all about the off-screen romance between them but it doesn't translate on film. Finney's performance is dull, boorish, and hard to watch. He's an ugly man, physically, and the way he delivers his lines -- IDK, maybe Donen was a terrible director? But I enjoyed the story nonetheless as it traces the principle character's relationship from early lustful contact to the later weary, resigned-to-their fate partnership. This film is all Hepburn in all her grace and beauty even when she's portraying anger. I have, and will, watch it again and again but only to tune in to be reminded of how lucky we viewing public are that she was captured at 24 fps. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Audrey Hepburn commands the screen and Albert Finney somehow holds his own brilliantly opposite her. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Audience Member 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, Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Farah R 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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review Brent A 10% rating .... Really struggled to maintain any interest in the storyline. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
