Leave your thoughts about Two Lovers and a Bear.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferRaw, heartfelt, well-acted and exhilarating. A refreshingly unpredictable, imaginative, and un-Hollywood film that has just the right balance of truth and spectacle. |
| The Film StageRory O'ConnorTwo Lovers and a Bear is at its most vibrant and enjoyable when Nguyen allows the surrealism to flourish. There’s a good film in there somewhere — one with fewer lovers and more bear, perhaps. |
| SF WeeklyJeffrey EdalatpourMaslany is adept at playing haunted characters, and her Lucy is no exception. She and Roman build a life together outside of logic and the boundaries of human habitation. They are a match made in a frozen heaven. |
| HeyUGuysLuke ChannellNguyen has crafted a surprising, touching and deeply resonant love story. |
| Cinema ScopeRichard PortonIn this movie's fanciful realm, mental illness, obsessive romanticism, and Arctic wildlife are all unbearably adorable. |
| Maclean's MagazineBrian D. JohnsonKim Nguyen finds raw authenticity in his location, and in the volatile chemistry between his two stars. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicFumbling between broad comedic strokes you’d find in a Disney film and the kind of darkness that usually creeps out of heavy Danish dramas, “Two Lovers And A Bear” is tonally off-kilter on top of failing to engage on any deeper level. |
| Screen InternationalLisa Nesselsonhe film’s unexpected narrative elements — including a few shots you’ve never seen no matter how often you go to the movies — make this a rewarding take on coupledom told with satisfying visual flair. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeSomehow, in the final stretch, Nguyen has transformed what felt like a relatively generic, un-special indie love story into something totally unpredictable, taking full advantage of the gorgeous widescreen lensing to convey the atmosphere and magic of his locations. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireFair warning: If a romance about beautiful, miserable people is your least favorite indie subgenre, this may not be your cup of tea. |
