Without a doubt, BM makes the best muse any man could dream up. And yes, it is completely a rom-com fairytale... but a very well written, acted, and produced one as far as the genre goes. As implausible as it all actually is.. it has an irresistibility about it that draws you in, and even with a bit of awkwardness just past the middle of the film, it recovers and dishes out a reasonable ending. Berenice Marlohe subtly fills the screen with her beauty and charm (as casting choice, she works dead-on.. not totally sold on him). Looking at some of her images on bing she has the power to overwhelm the lens, but here in this movie, it's downplayed, and the production benefits. This is a well thought out and well made little film, and in a field that usually includes mostly stuff bordering on unwatchable, it's refreshing to find one might be worth watching again sometime.

what a disappointment! after reading all these reviews! empty, disgustingly predictable, worst acting i ever saw, except for Olivia Thirlby. Even the music that was composed of few notes repeating themselves was cheap. I am a very sensitive person, women in my life always said that, and i cry when i see a crippled fly. and yet, nothing in this film made me feel any connection to anything on the screen. as a Jew, it really annoys me that a Jew wrote and directed this insensitive rubbish. Always thought that we are much better than this. hollow might describe this film perfectly. Made for the Emoji generation, fast paced and shallow.

I began this movie, knowing little of what awaited me. Many movies you watch in life are movies that just fleet by, without having an impact on your view of life, of love, of what's important to you. This movie was and remains different. It is a movie that will challenge your idea of life and of love foremost. If you are prepared for this, then I strongly advice you to watch this movie. It was gripping without its like. I have never been this moved by a movie, and it will probably take a long time for me to find a movie of its like. 10/10

I will admit that the film had me in the first few seconds. That it was no accident made it even more appreciated. That it fulfilled its promise by the end left me thinking, smiling and feeling good. A lot of care, love and thought had gone into making a story about likable people who are complex characters. Please, give me more. The script, the acting, the camera work and the perfect pace, made it all a beautiful pastiche of quiet and quality film-making. Yes please, give me more. But it would be helpful if these gems are not hidden away from the public. Thank God for Netflix. I've searched for some information on the film after watching it and saw that this was a debut for Victor Levin as a director. I am looking forward to more.

If it hadn't been set in NYC, I would have given it one star. The acting was atrocious - maybe because the script was so stilted. The only time my interest was piqued was the few moments when Frank Langella was on screen. And believing the two leads as lovers was beyond the stretch of my imagination. We know from the start that she is older but the male lead looks fourteen. Frankly, they looked absurd together. I'm sure they were trying to evoke the feeling of The Graduate but it was not even close. But the filming was beautiful. It's always fun to see glimpses of places you know and love, or get the atmosphere of New York City.
