Watch The Lovers For Free

I'll tell you why so serious

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie was much the same as watching someone paint a house.It was such a disappointment.So many periods of just nothing -I was anticipating seeing Debra Winger on screen again but this role was just beneath her!

The show kinda started OK even though i didn't like him much. I got to where i liked him after 20 minutes or so. If the show would have ended where both of them split up i could live with that. But, the ending where he calls her is way way way over the top for me. One reviewer said 'there is no feeling there'. I hadn't seen the very end when i read that review and i thought the reviewer was wrong that there was a tiny bit of feeling. But, the ending made the whole movie ridiculous and void of feeling , schizophrenic. Two sociopaths or something. Non humans. Or, at least, sad folks who live in an emotional vacant life. The son and his girl friend were the only ones with a sense of reality. I loved the way the son and his girl friend slipped out the door when Dad was playing the piano. The Dad , i saw , as in the middle of such a detachment from reality and delusional as he sang and played. Misguided. Or, no guidance at all. One reviewer mentioned how her and her 'lover' thought they'd identify because they just went through a similar thing. I guess a break up and make up. I loved the way the son just left probably thinking 'i got to get out of here wow bozoland, bonker city let me out'. I imagined them just thinking how comical the whole thing is with their parents and how sad, though. But, the main criticism or complaint is NO FEELING. I FELT JUST ABOUT NOTHING. THERE WERE ACTIONS GOING ON BUT NONE OF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH 'REALITY' OR 'WHOLENESS' OR MAKING ANY SENSE. THE plot seemed like it could go somewhere but would keep turning to nowhere. None it would ever happen. People aren't that out there. Feelingless characters pretending to be real. The movie didn't do anything for me but help me write this. I won't say it's a waste of time in the sense i keep getting reminded there are a lot of movies i think are just ridiculous when i think they won't be before i watch them. There are only a few actors and directors that i know, before hand, i will like. Very few. e.g I know i'll like a movie with Christian Bale in it or Chastain or Blanchett or Brad Pitt but there aren't a whole lot. Anyhow, lousy show.

The critics loved this movie, and the premise seemed funny...a married couple who are both cheating on each other, rekindle their romance, and "cheat" on their lovers! Unfortunately, none of the promise of this plot was ever realized. The first half hour is excruciatingly slow, with hardly anything at all happening. Towards the end, when their adult child and his girlfriend come to visit them, it's not bad. But then everything falls apart, and the cheating husband gets on the house piano, and sings a song about love. Really. Tracy Letts, who I used to like in Homeland, is way out of his league in this movie. It's interesting to see Debra Winger after all these years, but she does nothing to make this role "her own." Dozens of actresses her age could have played that part, and we wouldn't have seen any difference. All in all, you'd be wise to skip this one. I sure wish I did.

A middle age couple are in the throes of an affair. Both of them.The subtleties of a middle age relationship will be wasted on the young. Having read the negative reviews here, there's no doubting the reviewer's age. They've completely missed the point. That's fine. It's not for them. I may have felt the same way, once.For everyone else, this is subtle, poignant, witty, truthful and very funny. It takes you to places you expect, in a natural but charming way and then surprises you. It's a very delicate balance, pulled off beautifully by writer and director. And what a superb cast. All four of the main parts are played to perfection. These are no hacks. A top notch class act. The Lovers is a wonderfully fresh film for a mature audience. About time.
