There Is No "I" In Threesome


Newly engaged couple Zoe and Ollie agree to try out an open relationship and self-document every moment of their risqué experiment: the hookups, the jealousy, the vulnerability… and the shocking ending that you’ll never see coming.

MY RATING: 🧡🧡🧡🖤🖤 (3 Hearts out of 5)
This is a strange documentary. Not necessarily strange in a bad way, just strange. See, the problem with 'reviewing' this is that I can't write too much about how I really feel without spoiling the mindfuck of an ending - something I don't want to do because if you haven't seen it, I want you to experience it for yourself. It would be a disservice to you and everyone involved in the film if I did.
So I'll write what I can.
It's touching, candid, and did absolutely nothing to change my theory that true polyamory is not maintainable. It sounds good in theory, much like threesomes do, but an open relationship is just not feasible in reality. As much as I hate to use definitives, in this case, I feel three are justified:
Someone will always get hurt.
Expectations will never be met.
Ultimately, the couple will always be worse than they were before they went into it.
I have yet to see a couple disprove my theory, and at this stage of my life, I've realized that I likely never will. Of course, it's one thing if you're casually dating someone to be open to dating others, but even then...
The reason for my three-heart rating? The mindfuck of an ending. I didn't like it. But, that being written, I definitely enjoyed watching it and did not feel my time was wasted. Of course, you may think differently than me. If so, let me know.

Watch it on...
