Michael says: “Susan Kaplan’s documentary follows the 13-year relationship of Sam, Steven and Samantha. Sam and Steven
are two men who met in college and were enjoying a committed, long-term relationship. When Sam suggests having a woman enter the relationship, Steven is initially resistant, but eventually comes to agree with Sam, and soon Samantha is part of the committed relationship. A daughter follows, as do thirteen-years defying convention and struggling to make things work. Kaplan does a pretty good job looking at the trio’s families and upbringings, but the focus in the film, and in life, is clearly Sam. I was surprised at how self-involved a documentary could come across, but THREE OF HEARTS does exactly that. 2 1/2 cats”
