Watch “Two Lovers” Online
Director:
James Gray
Stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vinessa Shaw
Studio: 2929 Productions
Leonard (Phoenix) returns to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, where he soon falls for two very different women: the family friend his parents wish he would marry (Shaw) and his beautiful but volatile new neighbor (Paltrow).
Just in case you haven’t heard Joaquin’s confirmation that he’s quitting acting, Two Lovers, which reunites Mr. Phoenix with We Own the Night director James Gray, looks to be his last big-screen performance. But I’m thinking he (in real life) might be as volatile as Gwyneth’s character in this romantic drama, and he might reconsider his decision after a timeout. If not: Au revoir, Joaquin. We love you and we hope that you don’t write songs that sound like the Coldplay.
Meanwhile, skipping over G. Paltrow altogether, my attention turns to Ms. Vinessa Shaw, who is putting together a decent indie resume and could be one of Hollywood’s next leading ladies. If I were marketing this film, I would generate reports that Shaw’s performance outshines her costars’ work; make it a total Rebecca Hall/Vicky Cristina Barcelona situation.
