Third Person (15)

Drama, Romance

Three interlocking love stories involving three couples in three cities: Rome, Paris, and New York.


The critical consensus

Ultimately, this feels like Haggis attempting to emulate Charlie Kaufman, but falling painfully, embarrassingly short, with the end result being almost insultingly smug and self-indulgent. Avoid at all costs.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Matthew Turner, The List, 10/11/2014

Any one of the strands expanded alone might have worked better.

***(*)(*)Philip Kemp, Total Film, 10/11/2014

If Crash set your teeth on edge, book in at the dentist's before seeing this one.

**(*)(*)(*)Ian Freer, Empire Online, 10/11/2014

An interminable illusive boondoggle with clunky turns and a flat, uninspiring reveal.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Ian Mantgani, Little White Lies, 13/11/2014

In its lesser moments, the film seems as banal and manipulative as any afternoon TV soap.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 13/11/2014

Liam Neeson is a rich and famous writer lounging around in a five-star hotel, while James Franco plays a painter – with preposterous results.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 13/11/2014

Smartly structured and playful the execution is laboured and unconvincing.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 14/11/2014

Third Person? Fourth rate!
