Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

dromasca Director Benoît Jacquot's "3 coeurs" ("3 Hearts") gathers on screen a stellar cast. The three lead feminine roles are trusted to Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Gainsbourg, the daughter of ..., and Chiara Mastroianni, also the daughter of ... and also the daughter of Deneuve in real life. Gainsbourg and Mastroianni play the roles of two sisters in whose life shows up a man - the role is played by Benoît Poelvoorde, whom I have last time seen playing the role of ... God in The Brand New Testament, a film which you should search to see if you happen to have missed. The names and fame of the actors were the principal reasons for which I chose to see this film, and probably also the main reasons for which I will remember it.Marc Beaulieu (Benoît Poelvoorde) is a tax inspector. A good one and probably even a man of integrity because we see him involved in valiantly handling a high-level corruption case (not really related to the rest of the story). Numbers and determinism may be his profession, but hazard seems to reign in his personal life, which looks like a mess in which he attracts also the two sisters, one after the other. His heart is also feeble, the heart which is said to be for humans the center of noble emotions, but which also distracts and derails the paths of life when it physically malfunctions. Should we let hazard (or destiny) reign upon our lives, or should we try to fix its effects? Is this even possible?The questions raised by the story in the film are interesting, the resulting film is not really up to the premises. The principal reason is the pace of the story, which lingers for long periods, to jump suddenly at some moments, without a good connection between the different episodes. Good acting cannot save the flaws of the story and especially of the story telling, and despite the promises "3 coeurs" ends by being just another love triangle movie.

Keyra J Don't be fooled by the low rating. Totally loved this film. Very realistic. This is not a Hollywood film with a lot of special effects. So if you are looking for a fairy tale, move on to the next film in queue. The cast is absolutely superb - very real life, all very likable. I loved the three main characters played by Benoit, Charlotte and Chiara. It is hard to dictate whom and how to love, how to fall out of love. And the film is about emotional turmoil involved in chance meetings and close-knit triangles. The ending is open to interpretation. And last, but not least, I totally and completely disagree with other reviewers who mentioned that the cast is sub-par (so far from reality). Great film.

pc95 (spoilers)French "3 Hearts", directed as well as cowritten by Benoit Jacquot is an entertaining but flawed movie that has a good first setup and pull-in to get one involved in the drama, but the flaws come forth in the the final 3rd as the affair and lust seem to trump a wife and child. At this point in the movie, disgust really asserts itself and the movie becomes repulsive and base. The lead guy is a complete twit and sleaze, while the plausibility was already strained. Moreover, the main fellow is questionably lacking emotionally and fairly creepy. It is puzzling that the 2 attractive sisters would both be fiery towards him. The writing falls short when resolution is needed. More rationality would have served the story better, not teenage antics. You had an inkling, that the end would pop up as such, and it was a cop-out. Can't adults talk about their feelings? Check out "Sex Lies and Videotapes", for a superior movie on the subject matter. Anyway, Fairly disappointing 6/10 with some good elements and drama especially initially that cannot hold up later in the movie.

cheergal I decided to watch it because it was right in front of me when I checked. I can see most people did not like it. It's slow in pace and lacked of dialogues and physical actions also. Yet, the actors and actresses resonated with me.The story revealed how falling in love in first sight happened if you dare to seek for it. Frequently, American movies overwhelmed with dialogues and actions. Inadvertently, audience are practically told how to feel also. Employing body languages and facial expressions to depict the story would raise audience's senses for a change. Movies like this could linger in your thought for a while. They also require higher degrees of crafts which actors here sometimes are not equipped to do. It's not a dramatic one but the one you will remember and be moved by. I would recommend it.
