“Tomas is a narcissist and a hot mess — that much is clear. Yet he’s also the kind of lovable scamp with sexual prowess that proves alluring to people almost against their will. There’s Martin, his husband, whose steady stability in their relationship isn’t enough to keep Tomas from sleeping with Agathe, a schoolteacher he meets at a party. Passages chronicles months in the love triangle’s life, with Tomas bouncing back and forth between Agathe and Martin and making everyone miserable, including himself. It’s an extremely European film from the American director Ira Sachs, full of homages to classics of European cinema, and a portrait of a rascal and the helplessness of the human heart.” —Alissa Wilkinson, Vox 

“Unapologetically sexy and infinitely wise”
