Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring João Carreira, Carloto Cotta, Ana Cristina De Oliveira, Nuno Gil, and Teresa Madruga
Two lonely people careen through life following their individual experiences of loss: Rui, a handsome young romantic, loses his lover Pedro on the day of their anniversary; Odete, as fetching as she is unstable, is abruptly dumped by her boyfriend when she broaches the subject of starting a family. Their worlds collide when Odete becomes obsessed with Pedro, a man she never knew. (Strand Releasing)

The New York Times Nathan Lee
Neither sentimental nor cruel, yet touching and trenchant, the movie sustains a profound ambivalence right up to the final shot.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Drew Tillman
If you can look past the film's inexplicably straight face, Two Drifters is an enjoyably daffy picture.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Though the film contains many haunting images, the absence of a solid emotional foundation makes its increasingly preposterous story developments feel arbitrary and ultimately pointless.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Sam Adams
With a title nicked from "Breakfast at Tiffany's," Two Drifters styles itself as a classical romance, albeit one in which half the couple is either deceased or deranged.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
The setup and execution of this quietly histrionic tale of the distorting power of thwarted love are so patently ridiculous that the urge to laugh gets in the way.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle John McMurtrie
An overwrought weepie, it may be inspired by the recent dramas of Pedro Almodóvar, but it comes off as Almodóvar Lite -- muy lite.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Jessica Reaves
With a weak script, utterly unsympathetic characters and a nonsensical plot, it can barely keep plodding along.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
It's hard to say what's worse in the strange Portuguese drama Two Drifters: the insufferable wordless stretches, or the sudsy dialogue.
