Critical response

On French review aggregator AlloCiné, the film holds an average rating of 3.6 out of 5, based on 18 critic's reviews.[10] Peter Debruge of Variety wrote that the film captures "a sense of genuine emotion many directors never accomplish in their entire careers".[11] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a charming if not entirely convincing feature debut".[12]

Jonathan Romney at Screen Daily says it was "Elegantly shot, the whole thing nevertheless seems at once thin and over-cooked: Philippe Sarde's lush orchestral score feels excess to requirements, given the intimate, ultimately claustrophobic scale of the drama."[13]

Mubi writes, "The latest filmmaker in the Garrel dynasty, Philippe’s son Louis picks up the camera for this, his debut feature as writer-director. Co-written with his regular collaborator Christophe Honoré, Two Friends is a terrific 21st-century spin on the classic—and yes, French—love-triangle drama."[9]
