There is No 'I' in Threesome

The whole premise of this mockumentary is that two people not emotionally mature enough for love or marriage decide to redefine their relationship with a dynamic that they know nothing about. I won't ruin the ending, but it pretty much ends exactly as you'd expect it to.

... 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.

I'm sorry if I didn't get the memo if this is supposed to be fake or not. But If this is supposed to be real...it's not. If it's supposed to be a mockumentary type film, then it's just "okay". However I feel this has been marketed as a real exploration on polyamory. This film is the equivalent to Paranormal Activity; in the sense that you know within the first 5 minutes you are watching a mockumentary with the sole purpose of entertainment. Again, if this is supposed to be a mockumentary style film, it's just fine and I'll give it 5 stars out of 10. However I feel the promotion of this film has been that it's a genuine look at polyamory. On that sense, it's a 2.

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 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.
