Having premiered in Toronto last September, the movie left critics scratching their heads and trying to work out what to make of the movie comprised of distinct yet interlocking tales. A star-studded cast and some very glamorous locations helped sweeten the deal but reviewers criticised the "doomy drama" and its "russian dolls design whose big reveals recall Jeremy Kyle rather than Sophocles" (The Guardian).

Haggis ('Crash') has spoken about how long it took him to write the movie, owing to its complex structure and psychological battlegrounds. "I think I wrote something like 50 drafts and got it wrong 49 times," the Oscar-winning filmmaker recalled, via THR. "I just wanted to restore the challenge to [myself], because if I don't have a really good sense that I can fail and humiliate myself, then I'm not happy,"

"As with Crash and In the Valley of Elah, there were questions in my head I couldn't answer myself, about the nature of love. It got in my head and I wouldn't let it go," Haggis added. Third Person will be released on the 20th June in the USA and on the 27th June in the UK.
