I’m not going to beat around the bush here. Third Person is the worst film I’ve seen so far this year. Sure, it’s easy to dump on a lame comedy like Tammy but Oscar-winning writer/director Paul Haggis’ new drama aims so high so has that much farther to fall. Best Picture Oscar notwithstanding, I’ve never met another film lover who has much good to say about Haggis‘ Crash. It’s hard to think of a more ham-handed piece of popular filmmaking in memory that scored such big prizes (at least until 12 Years A Slave). In Third Person Haggis copies the Crash template by setting up three seemingly random episodes with three seemingly random sets of characters, some of whom eventually become intertwined with one another during a two-day period. The resulting film is overlong, self-indulgent and thoroughly uninteresting.
