FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ movieswetextedabout.com/the-threesome-movie-review-when-ambition-gets-lost-in-melodrama/ "The Threesome is a victim of its own ambition. The story, which begins by intelligently questioning social conventions and the nature of relationships, gets lost in narrative devices and an unequal treatment of its protagonists. Despite Zoey Deutch's visible efforts to give her character depth, the lack of the same type of personal development for Ruby Cruz and Jonah Hauer-King ends up unbalancing the scale. There's a deep and honest analysis of love, family, and responsibility spread throughout the film's various narrative threads, but ultimately, it becomes an occasionally frustrating melodrama, leaving the feeling that a great opportunity was wasted." Rating: C
