VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
barbara-71-177006 I HAVE SEEN THIS FILM AT LEAST TEN TIMES SINCE IT PREMIERED. EACH TIME I LEARN SOMETHING MORE ABOUT MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIPS IN MY LIFE AND SOME FRIENDS. THE CASTING OF ALBERT FINNEY AND AUDREY HEPBURN, GENIUS. TWO FOR THE ROAD HAD BRILLIANT WRITING, PERFECT ACTORS, RENOWNED DIRECTOR, STANLEY DONEN, BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES IN FRANCE , AND THE MOST WONDERFUL MANCINNI MUSIC IT COULD BE A PLAY, EVEN A MUSICAL, hello Broadway!!!
bettycjung 5/6/18. Somewhat disappointing. And, it was because the marriage between Hepburn and Finney made very little sense to begin with What kind of a man would make a woman (Hepburn no less) push a car filled will luggage and idiotic Finney in it?? Sadly the scenery could not make up for the terrible marriage and this hardly "romantic" movie.
cnycitylady If you're a fan of classic movies or fashion then you know Audrey Hepburn. Her style is iconic. The characters she crafted for film are iconic. She, as an actress, humanitarian and human being is iconic. But perhaps you don't know this film of hers.Two For The Road takes you down that road where you get to spend your life with the one person you will love until you die. It gives you the 'happily ever after' everyone dreams of, and shows you how that 'happily' maybe isn't always so and that 'ever after' can be a long drudge til death, but it also shows you every little thing that fools you into thinking it's worth it. Our characters go through all the stages of every relationship but what's more they experience it. They don't let it just pass them by, building up to the inevitable conclusion of separation. They analyze, they endure, they work harder.Hepburn is perhaps at the best she's ever been. This role called for her to be airy and light, young and in love yet it also needed her to be jaded and wizened. She must bounce between ingénue and battle axe and she does so masterfully, never showing contempt for the work or the man that she loves. Finney is right up there with her. He matches her blow for blow as he passively judges and sneers at his wife one minute, then dotes on his new bride the next.The screenplay called for nuance and integrity. It called for heartache, heartbreak, loyalty and betrayal. But most importantly it called for determination. Hepburn and Finney show us all of the ups and downs of a relationship and just how worth it they feel it is. You can see how the negative aspects of love wear and tear at their heartstrings and win a few battles but the war is ongoing and they are determined to win. They show us all that love and the perfect relationship is not handed to you on a silver platter, but earned through the hard work you put into it year after year. 9/10
bkoganbing Two For The Road was the last and least of the films that Audrey Hepburn did with Stanley Donen. It's a matter of taste, but I don't think it is anywhere as good as either Funny Face or Charade.The film is the story of the marriage of Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn told in jigsaw puzzle style, disjointed at different select times of their marriage and what they go through. You date it by the different hairstyles that Audrey Hepburn has and by the various cars that they drive. They're always on the road and if you know from cars and from women's hairstyle trends than you can follow the film a whole lot easier. Me, I'm not an expert in either.Some parts are quite memorable and the best scenes are with another married couple, Eleanor Bron and William Daniels and the little brat monster from hell that they're raising. Bron used to be involved with Finney and she'd like to keep some kind of tie there. But as parents the two are absolute flops, they're very liberal types who don't believe in disciplining their little sugar plum. In fact Audrey has to take a hand in there when the situation becomes intolerable.According to The Films Of Audrey Hepburn, Finney's part was originally schedule for Michael Caine. I could certainly have seen him in the role. I don't think the cinematic jigsaw was necessary. It would have been a better film just done as a straight linear narrative. Still fans of Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney should be pleased.
