I give this movie a solid 9 out of 10 because it's not clear about the ending, now that being said I loved the ending. My husband and I discussed this movie for at least an hour and will watch it again. I won't spoil it for anyone but give this one a chance. Sometimes reviewers don't 'get' a movie so give it poor ratings.

Interesting movie mainly about sacrifices and feeling guilty. 3 different cities, different stories with the same meaning- Everything in life need some sacrifices. In 3 stories people struggle, try to change something and don't want realize that nothing can be changed. 3 mistakes, 3 worse feelings and 3 interesting stories that keep you not breathing during watching the movie. Most of all I liked musical arrangement which was awesome. Strongly suggest to watch this movie

A Pulitzer price winner spends 1000 Euro's a day in a Paris Hotel suite to write a novel which is actually a biographic diary of a women who has a ongoing sexual relationship with her father. The movie director received around $30 million to complete the movie with its stellar cast (Kim Bassinger and Liam Neeson amongst others). After a long sit through of 2 hours and 10 minutes I decided to send a two week notice to the funding corporation Corsan, warning that after watching Third Person, the viewer can only judge this movie as a veiled attempt to slush millions of dollars into shady bank accounts of Unknown Persons. The end result can only be seen as a loutish expose of rats on a Euro carnage spending spree, both inside and outside the movie. The entire cast and film crew of course were staying in the same hotel as Liam Neeson, where a routine day of shooting could be witnessed on the top floor with the rolling of the main camera on wheels from the Director's hotel room into Mr. Neeson's hotel suite.

It's the oddity of this movie's tone that makes it memorable. And it's a film that tempts a second viewing to see how everything fits. The central character, a struggling novelist, is in self-imposed exile in Paris trying to come to grips with a horrible family tragedy, keyed by a child's whisper at the very beginning and end. Other stories begin in Rome and New York, seemingly unconnected. Episodes are in turn baffling, horrific, or frustrating in that dream-like way in which a goal is always horrifyingly out of reach before waking. The clue here is the odd detail. An impoverished gypsy woman who inexplicably shows up with a different car in every scene. A hotel room fantastically filled with flowers. A young child agonizingly out of reach to a woman who is chronically late to critical appointments. A journal put in a hotel safe that winds up on a used book table. And so on. It's a puzzle playing out in one man's head as he tries to come to grips with reality that, unlike a novel or a dream, can't be changed. I think the director could have made the final puzzle pieces clearer at the end and created a much more popular film, but the acting is brilliant (especially when you go back over the scenes) and the storytelling unique. Not a popcorn movie, but one to think about.
