It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Three stories occur simultaneously, telling different stories but with a core similarity. In each one, the main plot revolves around the loss of a child, whether it is permanent or one which involves big and impenetrable barriers. A writer who lost his child in a pool has an affair far away from his wife, a man steals a gypsy's money only to help her later get her child back and a struggling maid who cannot earn the right to see her child after she almost killed him by accident.I have to tell that these stories, besides the fact that they are so different, are as implausible and weary as they are stupid. The characters have a tendency to take radical and inexplicable actions that makes you wonder what was the writer of this movie thinking of? I mean, how can you tell me that a man decides to help a difficult person he barely met to the point that he gives her 100 grand just like that? Or that a mother who loves her child and apparently is willing to do anything to see him isn't able to get to a very important appointment on time not a single time? These opinions are strictly personal so you may have different views regarding them. Disregarding the above, I must add that this movie, through its badly drawn characters, doesn't manage to transmit any feeling, anything that may "inspire" you to start caring even for a second for their fate. They are so dull and lifeless, with their radical personalities and their questionable decisions, that any emotion is out of the question. Don't get me wrong, all the actors played their roles in a great manner, but the plot was simply too uninteresting, boring and soulless for them to raise the bar with their performances.I was about to fall asleep multiple times because of the lack of action and the plot that I simply cannot say that it was worth the time I spent seeing the whole film. I understood that all stories were fiction created by a single mind but they are too distant from each other, their presence together being hard to explain. Each one as a different movie may have had sense but all together create a bad blend. It is a bad and most of all boring film in my opinion, recommending it to anyone being pointless.

A Pulitzer price winner spends 1000 Euro's a day in a Paris Hotel suite to write a novel which is actually a biographic diary of a women who has a ongoing sexual relationship with her father. The movie director received around $30 million to complete the movie with its stellar cast (Kim Bassinger and Liam Neeson amongst others). After a long sit through of 2 hours and 10 minutes I decided to send a two week notice to the funding corporation Corsan, warning that after watching Third Person, the viewer can only judge this movie as a veiled attempt to slush millions of dollars into shady bank accounts of Unknown Persons. The end result can only be seen as a loutish expose of rats on a Euro carnage spending spree, both inside and outside the movie. The entire cast and film crew of course were staying in the same hotel as Liam Neeson, where a routine day of shooting could be witnessed on the top floor with the rolling of the main camera on wheels from the Director's hotel room into Mr. Neeson's hotel suite.

I just finished watching this film for the first time. It was on-demand on my cable service and I, initially, chose it as background noise and set my TV timer, hoping to fall back to sleep since I had, for no particular reason, awoken abruptly after having slept only 3 hours.It turned out to be a poor choice for that purpose since I quickly became too engrossed to return to my slumber.I will start by saying that, throughout the majority of the movie, you are witnessing personal dramas unfold in three different spheres of relation. These stories, though slow at times, are told well and will hold most people's interest.There is more to the film than that, including some suspense and twists and outcomes that are surprisingly tricky to call. That is one way that this movie manages to separate itself from the typical.I have intended to create a spoiler-free review so I must keep the rest to myself.I encourage those interested in a cerebral and emotional drama to watch it for themselves. Chances are that many will appreciate it as I did.I can see how this film could be difficult for many to interpret. I believe Mr. Haggis was overshooting the mark a bit to believe that the majority of his audience would "get" it. That is typically what you want when making a film, even if you intend to challenge your audience. If they don't "get" it, they walk away confused and angry. That's not good for business.I'm also sure that is why he included the thanks to his father in the end credits for teaching him to take chances.He definitely took a chance on this film. I though it was ultimately pretty brilliant but not destined for widespread acceptance and success.Finally, I will also say that I found it to be rather depressing so this is in no way a "feel good" drama.
