Hollywood.com says that, “TWO LOVERS goes straight to the heart and makes
you feel good about movies again. Joaquin Phoenix gives the best performance
of his career. Gwyneth Paltrow is terrific. Vinessa Shaw shines.
Writer/Director James Gray delivers a winner!”

Set in the insular world of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, TWO LOVERS is a
classic romantic drama, with Joaquin Phoenix giving a raw and vulnerable
performance as Leonard, a charismatic but troubled young man who moves back
into his childhood home following a recent heartbreak. While recovering under
the watchful eye of his parents ( Isabella Rossellini and Moni Monoshov),
Leonard meets two women in quick succession: Michelle ( Gwyneth Paltrow), a
mysterious and beautiful neighbor who is exotic and out-of-place in Leonard’s
staid world, and Sandra ( Vinessa Shaw), the lovely and caring daughter of a
businessman who is buying out Leonard’s family dry-cleaning business.

Leonard becomes deeply infatuated by Michelle, who seems poised to fall
for him, but is having a self-destructive affair with a married man. At the
same time, mounting pressure from his family pushes him towards committing to
Sandra. Leonard is forced to make an impossible decision — between the
impetuousness of desire and the comfort of love — or risk falling back into
the darkness that nearly killed him.

The movie is written and directed by James Gray.
