1962. A glamorous American couple, the charismatic Chester MacFarland (Mortensen) and his alluring younger wife Colette (Dunst), arrive in Athens by boat via the Corinth Canal. While sightseeing at the Acropolis they encounter Rydal (Isaac), a young, Greek-speaking American who is working as a tour guide, scamming tourists on the side. Drawn to Colette's beauty and impressed by Chester's wealth and sophistication, Rydal gladly accepts their invitation to dinner. However, all is not as it seems with the MacFarlands and Chester's affable exterior hides darker secrets. When Rydal visits the couple at their exclusive hotel, Chester presses him to help move the body of a seemingly unconscious man who he claims attacked him. In the moment, Rydal agrees but as events take a more sinister turn he finds himself compromised and unable to pull himself free. His increasing infatuation with the vulnerable and responsive Colette gives rise to Chester's jealousy and paranoia, leading to a tense and dangerous battle of wits between the two men.
Leave your thoughts about The Two Faces of January.
| Film Comment MagazineSteven MearsThe treat is watching [Oscar] Isaac and the magnetic [Viggo] Mortensen enact an Oedipal dance of desperation, their black hearts racing under white linen suits. |
| ObserverRex ReedCarefully directed and gorgeous to look at, with haunting performances and maximum suspense. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThis is Highsmith, and so things do not go as planned for her protagonists. The Two Faces of January - drop-dead gorgeous to behold - is not a merry tale, but a murderous one. Murderously good. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaAny subtext is derived from the shades of Isaac and Mortensen's performances, playing men forced into an uneasy alliance. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe sleek old-fashioned suspense story kept my interest throughout. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisWhat the movie lacks in suspense, it could make up for with erotic tension. That's missing, too. |
| Windy City TimesRichard KnightStylish, cinematically lush and well-acted by its gorgeous three leads. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAmini... has a playful darkness that jibes with Highsmith's sensibilities. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneKristin TillotsonA stylish directorial debut for screenwriter Hossein Amini. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertA pleasurable throwback to the character-driven thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock, rich in atmosphere and immaculately tailored. |
