Du Sie Er & Wir

I wouldn't be too harsh on the four of them. I understand that not everyone is into non-traditional relationships, but it was probably clear from the start that this was going to be controversial. If you want a classic romance starring one man and one woman, or if you have trouble tolerating the lifestyles of others, you probably shouldn’t watch this film. It will get you stamping your foot unnecessarily. The humor was a bit too much for my taste at times and I'm a bit disappointed that the filmmakers couldn't take such a good subject matter and bring more depth and interesting conversations. But despite that I think they managed to create a unique, ambiguous atmosphere that I enjoyed being in. In my eyes Paula is one of those actresses who is just interesting and the viewer wants to see more and more of them. This German Mila Kunis (at times I truly couldn't believe it wasn't actually her) is weaker acting-wise and makes the film a slightly more superficial affair, which is a pity. The guys were neutral for me, but they didn't mess anything up. I could easily handle watching it when it airs on TV. 3 stars. (2021.10.31)
