(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.
