˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗May 14, 2021I wanted more from this film, but that’s not to say it was bad. It actually did have my attention for the entire run time which surprised me considering the lacklustre of middle section which made the film overall feel like it didn’t say much. This was filled with long…

THE KILLING OF TWO LOVERS is a tense yet deeply moving drama of a married couple trying to work through their relationship. Unnerving sound design, deliberate editing, long dynamic takes & natural empathetic performances from the cast. One of the best surprises of Sundance…
Matt NegliaMay 16, 2021So simple and elegant and beautiful and dull and bleak and dreary and cold and lonely. I’ve been wanting to see this film for quite some time now and it didn’t disappoint one bit, it totally hit the spot I wanted it to and met my expectations completely. The title and the…
B E R TJan 11, 2022"Death is sometimes kinder than Love." ~ Rick Riordan, The House of Hades Love can be a many-splendored thing, as so many movies enjoy showing us, but in The Killing of Two Lovers we are presented with the opposite: a dying love, a dying marriage, and the toll that…

Set within a small snow-covered Utah town, The Killing of Two Lovers observes Clayne Crawford delivering an exceptional performance as central protagonist David, who is one half of a crumbling marriage that's fumbling towards inevitably falling apart. He struggles in…
Paul ElliottMay 10, 202178/100 A.V. Club review. Thought for a while that Machoian had made a less deliberately tedious version of Puiu's Aurora; that's not quite what he's up to, turns out, but this is still a singular amalgam of heightened tension and mundane domestic discord, anchored by two…
Mike D'AngeloJan 29, 2020A carefully composed slow burn that develops into an intense and distressing experience. Great lead performance by Clayne Crawford. Hope to see more from Robert Machoian because this is a very strongly directed piece. He really values every shot.

It’s a familiar template for domestic drama, particularly in its observations about traditional masculinity, but rarely – at least, in recent memory – has this type of story felt so potent or dangerous.

While the narrative may seem to some frustratingly sparse, The Killing of Two Lovers represents a leap forward for Machoian who somewhat scales up, creating a hauntingly personal portrait of a couple at a crossroads struggling in more ways that one to get by.

The Killing of Two Lovers is a transfixing drama without a wasted word or a single inessential scene.
