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

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2021

Meneghetti is going places.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2021

The romantic and domestic frustrations of two retired women in their seventies is not the most obviously suspenseful, high-concept premise for a movie, but Meneghetti makes the story remarkably compelling.

| Jul 14, 2021

In one sense, Two of Us is as much a conventional romance as anything else, but it's directed with a shiver of suspense by first-time feature maker Filippo Meneghetti.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2021

Despite its skittish inference that Mado's stroke is a manifestation of her own self-denial, [It's] ultimately less interested in judging her for that choice than it is in exploring how some of life's most significant choices can only be made together.

| Original Score: B | Feb 11, 2021

Meneghetti's debut is always visceral and sometimes shocking. It's familiar and it's rare. It's not a movie I'll probably watch again, but it's also not one I'll soon forget.

| Feb 8, 2021

It's an impressively confident debut, one that Sukowa and Chevallier bring to life with the verve of two actors in their prime.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 6, 2021

As visually stunning as it is profound, Two of Us is an incredible exploration of what it means to love and be loved in return.

| Feb 6, 2021

A movie that's especially attuned to the sensuality of older women, Two of Us morphs from romance to woman-gone-mad psychothriller territory

| Feb 6, 2021

The anger really builds in this film. I found myself incredibly moved, wanting to jump in and yell at all the characters and straighten it all out.

| Feb 6, 2021

This is an absolutely beautiful debut. I love this movie.

| Feb 6, 2021

"Two of Us" is one of those artfully crafted movies that never plays as such, because its proud, beating heart is so front and center, and its faith in the power of love and desire so energizing.

| Feb 6, 2021

It's a romance as dreamy as any.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2021

Meneghetti, a first-time but remarkably assured filmmaker, gives Two a dreamlike realism, letting the score go ragged in its tensest moments and swooping in artfully on aching closeups and empty spaces.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 5, 2021

[Two of Us] is elevated by the beauty of its performances, and by its masterly technique, which would suggest a filmmaker at the height of his career, not someone directing his first feature.

| Feb 5, 2021

This delicate balance of romance and discomfort would collapse without the fine work by Sukowa and Chevallier.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 5, 2021

Two of Us is a memorable debut for filmmaker Filipino Meneghetti with knockout performances by its gifted stars

| Feb 5, 2021

The perplexing thing about Two of Us is that it seems to be set in the present day, yet Nina acts as if telling Madeleine's children about their love for each other is an impossibility.

| Feb 4, 2021

It's a gripping, visceral journey into an intense hidden love and how someone can go feral to defend and protect it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 4, 2021
