Romance
Part gleaming farce, part-tough-minded exploration of the inherent insanity of love and desire, "Heartbeats" centers on two close friends: Francis and Marie. At a dinner party one evening they meet Nicolas, a striking young man from the country who has just recently arrived in town. His boyish charm and classical good looks create an irresistible mystique that neither of the two friends can shake. The threesome begins to spend more and more time together. But the more intimate they get, the more remote and unattainable Nico becomes, sending Francis and Marie's comic obsession into overdrive. And as their hunger for Nicolas' affections grow, the more their once cast-iron friendship begins to crack and shift to rivalry.

Movies.ie Critic Review
Montreal fashionistas Marie (Chokri) and Francis (Dolan) are the best of sophisticated buddies, their friendship threatened somewhat though by they each fall for the statuesque Nicolas (Schneider). Narcissism runs deep, as this stylish love triangle plays like a Face photoshoot...
THE VERDICT: Young gun Dolan made quite an impact with his assured 2009 debut I Killed My Mother (being only 20 at the time), and this highly stylised love story centred around three highly stylised individuals wears its influences - Godard, Almodovar, Wong Kar-Wai, Chanel - brazenly on its well-stitched sleeve. You'll either fall in love with it, or hate it
