Two retired women, Nina and Madeleine, have been secretly in love for decades. Everybody, including Madeleine’s family, thinks they are simply neighbors, sharing the top floor of their building. They come and go between their two apartments, enjoying the affection and pleasures of daily life together, until an unforeseen event turns their relationship upside down and leads Madeleine’s daughter to gradually unravel the truth about them.

Critics Consensus

A remarkable feature debut for director/co-writer Filippo Meneghetti, Two of Us tells a deceptively complex love story while presenting a rich acting showcase for its three leads.

Surprisingly, much of the film feels like a thriller, and Meneghetti revels in the genre.

Two Of Us beautifully depicts love's many languages and how time generates strength. There's a valuable lesson here that never gets old: love conquers all.

4/5

Far from the usual trope of older people finding love in comic situations, Two of Us instead paints a portrait of domesticity that many people of all genders and sexualities can understand

Just another terrible script and story. Total waste of time and the worst acting. Dump it.

Despite having an irrational presence within, it's a satisfyingly sweet love story that sparks romantic resilience, layered kindly, through exceptionally committed performances. (B+)

When focused on the relationship of Barbara Sukowa (Nina) and Martine Chevallier (Madeleine) the film tells an elegant love story that is subtle and complex and speaks to a different generation. When the movie goes into a bizarre subplot involving a care giver you wonder how something so delicate could be throw so off kilter. It's a film about relationships and taking care of each other and it's charming. The French really can speak to romance! Final Score: 7.7/10
