Neither sentimental nor cruel, yet touching and trenchant, the movie sustains a profound ambivalence right up to the final shot.
FULL REVIEW
60
If you can look past the film's inexplicably straight face, Two Drifters is an enjoyably daffy picture.
FULL REVIEW
50
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.
FULL REVIEW

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.
By Ella Taylor FULL REVIEW
25
An overwrought weepie, it may be inspired by the recent dramas of Pedro Almodóvar, but it comes off as Almodóvar Lite -- muy lite.
By John McMurtrie FULL REVIEW
25
With a weak script, utterly unsympathetic characters and a nonsensical plot, it can barely keep plodding along.
FULL REVIEW
12
It's hard to say what's worse in the strange Portuguese drama Two Drifters: the insufferable wordless stretches, or the sudsy dialogue.
