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
