Critics Consensus

A remarkable feature debut for director/co-writer Filippo Meneghetti, Two of Us tells a deceptively complex love story while presenting a rich acting showcase for its three leads.

Gabrielle Marceau

Sight & Sound

Surprisingly, much of the film feels like a thriller, and Meneghetti revels in the genre.

Empire Magazine

Two Of Us beautifully depicts love's many languages and how time generates strength. There's a valuable lesson here that never gets old: love conquers all.

Rated: 4/5

Paul Klein

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Far from the usual trope of older people finding love in comic situations, Two of Us instead paints a portrait of domesticity that many people of all genders and sexualities can understand

Rated: 4/5

Just another terrible script and story. Total waste of time and the worst acting. Dump it.

Despite having an irrational presence within, it's a satisfyingly sweet love story that sparks romantic resilience, layered kindly, through exceptionally committed performances. (B+)

When focused on the relationship of Barbara Sukowa (Nina) and Martine Chevallier (Madeleine) the film tells an elegant love story that is subtle and complex and speaks to a different generation. When the movie goes into a bizarre subplot involving a care giver you wonder how something so delicate could be throw so off kilter. It's a film about relationships and taking care of each other and it's charming. The French really can speak to romance! Final Score: 7.7/10

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A frustrating film in that too much of the story is driven by lack of communication, silences, and inexplicable intolerance of gay love. Why wouldn't the very compassionate partner simply speak up in the beginning of the film to support her stricken partner? Why would the loving daughter be so intolerant? Why would an otherwise caring woman stiff the caregiver? Film would have made more sense set in another time period.Lovely performances, though.
