Recensioni di Metacritic

Just the Two of Us is not clever, self-important, or stylistically overt. This is a story, well told.

This is a solid and often uncomfortably tense domestic drama.

Even as it dabbles in genre tropes, the film presents an all-too-unremarkable reality for many women.

The drama is by turns rushed and overplayed, but it has a haunting core and moments of slippery, surprising cinematic style that make the movie linger in the mind, if only for a little while

Just the Two of Us won’t win any points for originality (it seems that stories like this are the all the rage on streamers), but it works as a well-constructed drama that checks the boxes of what people watching it want — an intense tale of conflict with two hot people. In that regard, we can definitely count this as a success.

Just the Two of Us is a rare thriller whose setup is more compelling than its climax.

While Donzelli’s latest feature is a well-acted, stifling study of domestic violence, one wishes there was more to take away than a schematic lesson in the horrors of abuse.

Just the Two of Us seems pre-ordained and predigested, with every emotion tugged at and every “trigger” and behavioral “tell” underlined so as to remove any doubt about what’s going on, who is the victim and who is to blame.
