Toi, lui, elle et nous

I loved this movie. It has some very funny scenes and every character has their own charm. It's a very engaging comedy and I sincerely hope that Netflix keeps producing German movies like this.

Oh, and Jonas Nay is amazing as always.

Well you probably won't ask too many questions and if you can't suspend your disbelief and get behind the idea of the movie ... and its characters, you may have issues staying interested throughout. That being said, the movie has some neat ideas and twists throughout.

Not everything works drama wise I'd say and you may feel more annoyed than connected with the people involved. But the movie does a decent job overall to explore all the relationships and the impact intense and intimate connections can have ... and what they mean for the future. Not great, but not a bad movie overall and quite well acted too.

Props for some shots and the frame scenery ... that was basically the only part - besides that plot is very weak , discussions have no substances and the character who is supposed to be "funny" plainly gives douchbag vibes (he even had a Karen hairstyle) and what's up with the conversations with no substance? .. maybe my expectations were too high as I was waiting to see a film as in "perfect strangers" that would absorb you into the conversation and discover the secrets piece by piece ... this thing instead has an ending that is completely out of sense and disconnected even from the whole previous scenes .. nice shots of the landscape and the hallmark images of the perfect blonde couple holding hands .. nothing against that but even in that it lack subtleness.

I thought this film was worthy of 7 stars. It had sex, romance, drama and comedy. Though the story was a bit skewed, I enjoyed the movie. Highly recommend this film.

The premise of _Du Sie Er & Wir_ (The Four of Us) starts off promising: four friends, two couples, a partner-swapping experiment lasting four weeks, all governed by the rules of an "adult experiment." The stage is perfectly set for a biting, provocative, and daring social critique.

The problem is that as the film unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that someone forgot to hire a real screenwriter. The script relies on superficial dialogue, predictable situations, and characters who-despite the actors' efforts-fail to rise above the surface.

There's a lack of dramatic depth. The film seems lost between its desire to be provocative and its reluctance to truly dig deep, resulting in a flimsy development with no narrative pulse and no real evolution of conflict. The "big idea" is there-yes, the critique of traditional relationship models, the exploration of desire, insecurity, envy, and jealousy-but everything remains at the level of intention.

The writing is apathetic, unable to truly provoke the viewer or deliver any genuine discomfort. The characters are underdeveloped, and this is a basic error: there's no emotional evolution, no impact. The script merely skims the surface of its major themes without the courage to dive in, as if it's afraid to get its hands dirty. The result is a film that promises revolution and delivers little more than empty talk disguised as "contemporary drama."

In the end, _Du Sie Er & Wir_ is a beautiful display window with no product. It has style, it has aesthetic, it has that pretentious "look how modern and free we are" attitude, but it lacks substance, courage, and structure. I give it a 6, and I might be being generous. The film lacked a script, but had plenty of attitude.
