75It doesn't spoil any of the story's surprising twists to say that Three of Hearts ends up uncovering some poignant truths about the nature of love, the pressures of commitment and the limits to the compromises we are willing to make for the people we care about.
-
75The documentary fascinates not only because of its subject matter but because the three people - whose backgrounds are individually developed - are so likable.
