An intriguing glimpse into a type of relationships that is characteristic of the modern era, a theme that still finds little space within both independent and mainstream cinema. While favoring everyday situations over drama, the characters' lifestyles are distinctive enough to evoke interest in the viewer. Both their flaws and weaknesses are relatable, yet spicy enough to stimulate sympathies and antipathies. However, I must admit that a bit more fluidity and promiscuity wouldn't have hurt. Relationships consolidate and fall apart rather abruptly, lacking the transitional phases or casual sex that would typically occur in such a context.

To put it bluntly: unoriginal and dull.

Saw this at a preview screening in Hamburg. To me, it felt like a realistic depiction of modern love that many people, including myself, have either seen or experienced. Franz Rogowski delivers an excellent performance, which deceives you into both hating and relating to him. All in all, it’s a great movie. Ira Sachs was also a really nice guy during the Q&A. I especially loved what he said about the influence of ‘Taxi zum Klo’ on queer cinema.

Like the 300th testimonial on the disadvantages of diarrhea, I didn't need someone to explain the obvious to me, especially for so long and with so little originality. A gay film director makes a movie about a gay film director and it ends up just being another rock on the mountain of evidence that romantic relationships suck. (PS Franz Rogowski and Adèle Exarchopoulos ! :heart_eyes:)

Intimacy can be a beautiful thing. However, it can also become something messy, hurtful and emotionally devastating when tainted by self-serving agendas, irresponsible intentions, or reckless, short-sighted experimentation, influences that can purposely or unwittingly end up wreaking widespread havo More

"Tomas" (Franz Rogowski) and husband "Martin" (Ben Whishaw) find their marriage severley tested when the former man starts to fall for "Agathe" (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and that passion drives "Martin" into the arms of "Amad" (Erwan Kepoa Falé). What now ensues is, frankly, a rather dull introspectiv More
