Featured review
In Paris, Mona Dessaint (Golshifteh Farahani) is authorized by the justice to leave the prison where she is incarcerated to work at a coffee shop at the Gare du Nord. When she returns, she needs to respect the scheduled hour and is submitted to breathalyzer. When the loser and insecure Clément (Vincent Macaigne), who has a crush on Mona, finds her job, he disturbs her, and she asks him to go away. Clément calls his best friend, the womanizer Abel (Louis Garrel), to help him to be with Mona, and they abduct her from the train. Without money to take a taxi to the prison, Mona stays with them along the night where the friendship of Clément and Abel is tested.
"Les deux amis", a.k.a. "Two Friends" is a simple romance between two men and a woman, object of interest of them. The male characters are awful, since Clément is a weird man with beard and whiny voice and Abel is totally unexpressive, keeping the same face along the story and betraying his best friend. The greatest attraction is the beautiful Golshifteh Farahani, but why she traded six additional months in prison to spend the night with the two men that kidnapped her. Stockholm Syndrome? Another point is why didn't she have a threesome with Abel and Clément at the hotel room after giving ardent kisses? Was the director afraid to show this type of behavior to Mona? In the end, "Two Friends" is a forgettable romance without anything special. My vote is six.
