Mutual attraction leads two married couples to swap bedtime partners.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
This handsome mate-swapping drama never moves beyond the erotic to become incisive about the barriers built into sexual experimentation for committed couples.
Inevitably, however, this oh-so-cosmopolitan setup gradually devolves into resentment, messy romance, and marital strife.
Close to a parody of a French sex drama - complete with bored, bourgie bed-swappers and a dull sense of amoral sophistication - this autopiloted import does no favors to the legacies of Truffaut and Godard.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
You know there's something wrong with a sex movie when the good parts are the dialogue.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Too lazy and too scared to say anything pertinent about love, society and the human condition, Four Lovers is content to be a pleasant, mildly titillating divertissement with no meaning at all.
