There is No 'I' in Threesome

This is such a great documentary to experience through the lens of the director a real love-story with a bit of a twist. Its a rollercoaster that takes you through many emotions of happiness, sadness and even cringe at some points (oh no, when they met each other I had to look away). You get to meet the protagonists in a more personal level with all their flaws and many many positive aspects. In my opinion, the film is more than just about being in an open relationship. It is about a couple experimenting with their sex life and trying to work out what works for both of them. It is about how a couple can handle important milestones and how easy it is to drift apart. In the end, I highly recommend watching this as you will have the opportunity to ask many questions about yourself and reflect from your own life.

Well, there also is no "PIZZA," so I'm out!

While this was engaging and I wanted to see what happened next, thanks to the marketing, it was enormously predictable. But, it's not all the spoilery tagline from HBOMAX's fault. You really see where this is headed from the first jump.

Ollie and Zoe, one a filmmaker, the other, an actor, planned a wedding a year out and in the meantime, they chose to film themselves having open relationships while they live apart thanks to work. And they're one of those couples who have to constantly tell each other verbally that they love each other and everything is fine.

Again, I was engaged (in the film, not to one of these peeps) - helps the male half's cute with a great accent and is nude probably one quarter of the runtime. But, since it was painfully obvious how this'll pan out, it lost a ton of steam to the finale. That said, there were 1-2 more twists in the conclusion that did make up for its shortcomings.

Barely a recommendation. Sure, he's cute (or if you like/prefer women, she's also adorable and naked a lot) and it's less than 90 minutes, so if you have HBOMAX and 87 minutes to kill, why not?

Just don't be ordering HBOMAX for this. Far better softcore porn is available for free all over the internet.

Final thoughts: I have a confession I never told anyone...I might be pi. I think I love both men and pizza equally. And not opposed to a threesome.

The film held my interest throughout. Not sure why people who don't 'approve' of the lifestyle clearly represented in the title would write bad reviews based on their moral viewpoint. Why did they even watch the movie (or did they)? I thought the film captured the dangers of an open relationship well, or what I'd perceive the dangers to be, given I've not had, nor want to have, experience with one. I did wonder how some of the shots were captured given it was supposed to be self-documented by the participants, but that's explained in the end.

Not sure what was up with the sound, but I had streaming issues with this film. First, a narration voice-over was turned on by default that wouldn't be necessary unless you were vision-impaired, and the audio and video sync were way off. But I enjoyed it nonetheless, and had no trouble staying with it to the end.

The other reviewers seem as if they did not watch the entire movie and is making snap judgements an something that they do not fully understand.

In the end it is a movie chronicling real emotions from a couple that wanted to document a non mainstream ideology of an open relation ship and eventually polyamory. It takes the viewer through the journey of emotions from the hopeful beginning of excitement and joy all the way to the end and with unpredictable outcomes.

The twist at the end made the movie for for me. I never saw it coming especially because of how raw and introspective the entire movie was up to that point.

The movie has to be accepted for what it is, also considering what it was originally intended to be.

Kudos to the director.

... right from the start. The couple were too cute and having too much fun. It's not a documentary, watch it at your own peril.
