Two of Us is a very strange movie. It's sort of fan-fiction before fan-fiction was popular, as it imagines a conversation between John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1976, and really isn't based on any actual events. There are plenty of references to things that happened around that time and before it, though, making it a strange example of a "historical" related drama.
It's... interesting. I don't know if I could quite call it good. The actors are both pretty good, although I do think Jared Harris did a better job at playing Lennon than Aidan Quinn did at playing McCartney. He pushes harder, and runs the risk of seeming like more of a caricature than a character, but maybe that's true to Lennon; he did seem like a strange guy, and Harris captures that here.
There's not a whole lot to it, other than the conversations. It's sort of like a movie in the Before Trilogy, but with actors impersonating the two best Beatles (fight me, George fans) instead of Jesse and Celine. It's definitely not as good, though - just has a similar feel.
I will say that occasionally, the dialogue is really bad, but most scenes aren't impacted. It's strange how bad the odd line or two of dialogue is. Like, so on the nose, and strange that they made the final version of the script.
Overall, I can just barely get this to a passing grade. It's kind of clunky, but kind of interesting, and kind of well-acted. An odd movie, but it didn't take up too much of my time, and I didn't really mind watching it.
