Saw this film off Netflx thinking it was something else entirely; I mean with a name like "Trois" one would expect something beyond one sex scene and barely any interaction between the two main characters. First it starts off with a husband wanting to fulfill a fantasy with his wife and another woman, after sometime the wife relents and through a friend of the husband, he finds a woman willing to be the third person. Well after a weekend of "hanging out" to get his wife comfortable with the other woman, they have their night of fun and thats apparently the end of the "Trois"Then this film takes a completely different turn, with the husband being unjustifiably horrendous to the other woman and still not giving his wife any attention. From there you have snakes, weird font letters, egged cars, slashed tires and a video of him having sex with another woman earlier in their marriage. This all leads to a showdown with her abusive ex boyfriend, who was posing as her husband's friends the entire film, and somehow a gunshot wound to her sides, leads to her being paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair. Oh yeah, they also get a divorce.Bottom line, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

I seen Trois last summer and I thought the movie was pretty good.The acting wasn't Academy Award winning,but somewhat suitable.This movie contained one too many spoilers.First the not so raunchy love scenes could have been worked on more to make it look realistic and at the same time,steamy.Next,Kenya Moore's role was so stupid.Why in the hell would she except an offer like that from her husband and then gets mad when she finds a videotape of her husband and some other woman in her car doing it?Her character was so unrealistic and unconvincing.Next,the role of the husband played by Gary Dourdan was so cold,Gretchen Palmer's character was okay and Solomon K. Smith's character was probably the most dumbest of them all.He was so wacky and just as unrealistic and unconvincing as Kenya Moore's character.And the twist.There were way too many twist in the story.The characters,the sex scenes,and the confusing twist could have been more complex.Would I recommend this to anyone?WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! 5 OUT OF 10

I rented this movie with several friends without any expectations. This movie wasn't worth the price of a rental. The acting, writing, directing and cinematography were all bad. With the exception of Gretchen Palmer, the rest of the cast was so bad you would think they weren't professionals. Wait! Kenya Moore is not a professional actor. Well, that explains it. I've seen many Black-made independent films that were of much higher quality and touched on subjects that we often ignore so this film has no excuse. Please don't waste your time with this movie.

I caught this film at the Acapulco Black Film Fest. I think Trois successfully captures something that we rarely see on the big screen --Black sexuality. It's not raunchy, but not tame by any means. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but delves deeply into the politics of marriage, fidelity and lust. And there is a cool, unexpected twist at the end ala Fatal Attraction. I liked it. Kenya Moore and Gretchen Palmer are beautiful. And the men are wonderful... two of the hottest looking Black actors out there -- Gary Dourdan and Bryce Wilson. I hear this comes out Valentine's Day 2000 or somewhere around there. I'd recommend checking it out.
