Considering all these shallow movies we have nowadays, gettig the chance to see "Third Person" is a pond of clear water in the middle of the desert. Yes, we need more films like this. It is not only a collection of love stories, but - and this is the main feature of this film - a puzzle we have to put together. And when we do it... well, see it! Give yourself some time to enjoy someting different.

Three interlocking love stories involving three couples in three cities: Rome, Paris, and New York. Third Person stars Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Maria Bello. Suprisingly this movie worked great with all 3 stories since all of them were very interesting, heartwarming but also even a bit dramatic to say the least plus i was suprised by how good both Franco and Kunis were in this film. Overall if you're into drama and romance and a mix of different people threw different countries? You'll like it...

The acting was very good, an 8/10 but the movie was so bad I wish I stopped watching it after the first 15 minutes of the movie. So if you liked it at that point please continue but if you hoped it was a movie that at the end of it would all blossom into this great movie you will be very disappointed. I did follow the movie, understood it like the other reviewers but saw that it lacked all of the elements, flow and character to make it worthwhile. Too bad because when you get that kind of good actors together and miss putting it together it lets these actors down. They wanted a great movie. They did their job yet the puzzle that was presented did not jelled together and bring forth the fact that when one experiences a huge loss in life, one may dream, experience horrible thoughts or have nightmares about life but after persevering their thoughts clear out and they can enjoy life again and even may come out better. If that was not the purpose of the movie then it should have been. Maybe it can be re-edited or at least have that word ending made real to the audience. Well done actors on your part!

This movie had Paul Haggis' fingerprints all over places but not in the good ways. Paul just extended or limited his creativity around his signature paralleling various story lines then weaving into a monstrosity of who knew what. His Oscar winning film Crash by far is his best of this type of movies as a director. He is a better screen writer than director in my opinion.His talent was the reason to draw those A-list actors and actresses to this movie. However, he lost the focus of the main topic which I am not sure it's about love any more. He applied coincidences way too often to make the whole film congregated naturally. I wish he would not have tried so hard. And the part of revealing Olivia Wilde's character's incest relationship with her father was probably the most appalling and over the top in the entire story. I do not object to use hard subjects in films if only if they would serve the right purpose. This one was out of place except serving as a shocking element. Anyway, I wish to see Haggis' films other than this type in the future. I hope he could extend his writing skill to his directing field.
