...the picture moves far too slowly to wholeheartedly capture the viewer's attention and interest.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 25, 2020

This mammoth of interrelatedness is uncomfortable, unwieldy, and so insistently labyrinthine that it quite literally chokes the life out of itself.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2019

It's a clever idea, and very enjoyable in places, but it doesn't quite come off and after the high emotion and drama the characters have been wrenched through, the resolution feels sadly anti-climactic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

The revelation that makes sense of all this is clever and actually ties in to the film's themes nicely, but by the time we get there we're so depleted it barely leaves an impression.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 2, 2019

The cast could not have been better, pushing this already intense script into very strong territory.

| Nov 8, 2018

What's that noise? It's the Metafiction Police coming to arrest this over-ambitious, pompous jiggery-pokery.

The question is if he realizes he more or less admitted to being a sociopath who remorselessly exploits the pain of those around him for the sake of drama.

| Oct 8, 2015

A pretentious wreck of a movie that severely tests the patience.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 26, 2015

Third Person has a number of distinct themes at work, manifested through characters and plots that are a mixed bag of believable and baffling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2015

When we reach our finale you can't help but feel somewhat detached and uninvolved in this title.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2014

Third Person suffers from a script that fails to hook you in during its opening section and drags on without sufficient emotional connection for 137 minutes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2014

[A] multi-stranded slice of phoney-baloney, manipulative claptrap.

| Nov 16, 2014

Haggis tips his hand too obviously while delivering his narrative sleights and feints, and he piles on the symbolism rather blatantly, too, but his actors are so compelling that the film's individual scenes mostly come off.

| Nov 15, 2014

This handsome looking film feels old-fashioned and stodgy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2014

In its lesser moments, the film seems as banal and manipulative as any afternoon 온라인카지노추천 soap. Another way of looking at the film is as Haggis's own very idiosyncratic and intimate essay.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2014

What is it with Paul Haggis? Has he forgotten how to tell a simple story?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 14, 2014

What does it all mean? Not very much, I suspect, with the cast sombrely delivering lines about trust and frailty while starring broodily into the middle distance.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 14, 2014

The larger edifice feels distinctly jerry-built and, sure enough, when nudged sharply in the final scenes it comes crashing disastrously about the director's ears.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2014

By the closing credits you too will share the characters' grief, solemnly mourning 137 minutes you'll never get back. Insufferable.

| Nov 14, 2014

Unsurprisingly, the stores come together in a hurried final stretch...but you really rather wish they'd never started.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 13, 2014
