Review of Two of Us

"TWO OF US has a lean plot and Meneghetti manifests substantial efficacy in terms of calibrating the storyline without almost any redundancy, such as the metaphor of two young girls playing hide-and-seek, or the decisive ending that is more symbolic than narratively functional, it attests a filmmaker's remarkable sensibility, which is a sine qua non in this line of work. The two leads are fantastically played by two excellent veterans, Sukowa is an indomitable bulldozer and a ball of fire as the flinty Nina, who has everything at stake and Sukowa ensures that every word and action hit the mark, oh yes, she is that good. And Chevallier, she might be AMOUR-lite in handling paralysis, but when her wordless close-up beckons, she is as compelling as you can ever imagine."
