Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Jan 2, 2014
It's debatable whether the best love stories are also the "weirdest," as Emile Hirsch's character declares in "Twice Born." But they do require chemistry, the missing piece in his pairing with Penlope Cruz. Go to Full Review
Todd Gilchrist TheWrap Dec 6, 2013
Sergio Castellitto's film projects a tumultuous love story against the backdrop of the Bosnian War for independence, and then seems unaware that the foreground overshadows it in the worst possible way. Go to Full Review

"Twice Born" chokes to death on its own melodrama. Go to Full Review

5.8/10
The recreation of Sarajevo by art designer Francesco Frigeri is equally staggering and beautiful. It's a shame the rest of the team didn't hold up their end of the bargain. Go to Full Review

Poe W Feb 26, 2018 Terrible movie. I don't get the high audience review.
Anakin S Jan 9, 2017 I have watched this movie several times over the last few years and it can still bring tears to my eyes. Hirsch's best can be seen at his worst in the film... Pe, is brilliant in her anguish. And, those eyes, are hauntingly beautiful yet broken. See more
