The Four of Us

Props for some shots and the frame scenery ... that was basically the only part - besides that plot is very weak , discussions have no substances and the character who is supposed to be "funny" plainly gives douchbag vibes (he even had a Karen hairstyle) and what's up with the conversations with no substance? .. maybe my expectations were too high as I was waiting to see a film as in "perfect strangers" that would absorb you into the conversation and discover the secrets piece by piece ... this thing instead has an ending that is completely out of sense and disconnected even from the whole previous scenes .. nice shots of the landscape and the hallmark images of the perfect blonde couple holding hands .. nothing against that but even in that it lack subtleness.

In a very unexpected situation, this movie spoilers the end of Game of Thrones because the characters talk about the series. In my opinion, this is an absolute taboo! Hence: only one star. Besides from that: average dramedy with some funny moments. ;)

I loved this movie. It has some very funny scenes and every character has their own charm. It's a very engaging comedy and I sincerely hope that Netflix keeps producing German movies like this. Oh, and Jonas Nay is amazing as always.

... plot-script's a jumbled-mess ... actors don't do badly considering what they had to work with ... being on Netflix fast-forwarding saves some of the anguish of watching ... there are much better foursome-swapping-films ... these four just don't work on any level.

I thought this film was worthy of 7 stars. It had sex, romance, drama and comedy. Though the story was a bit skewed, I enjoyed the movie. Highly recommend this film.

Not ideal but quite interesting German dramedy about swapping partners. Florian Gottschick brought philosophical approach into troublesome relationships. Four leads had more exchanges than sex and held our own opinion towards 'em till its flimsy plot twist.

Well you probably won't ask too many questions and if you can't suspend your disbelief and get behind the idea of the movie ... and its characters, you may have issues staying interested throughout. That being said, the movie has some neat ideas and twists throughout. Not everything works drama wise I'd say and you may feel more annoyed than connected with the people involved. But the movie does a decent job overall to explore all the relationships and the impact intense and intimate connections can have ... and what they mean for the future. Not great, but not a bad movie overall and quite well acted too.
