It’s a surprisingly pleasant romance-drama centered around infidelity and divorce, from Rebecca Miller. This feels like a welcome return after a six-year break, though it doesn't quite reach the level of a truly exceptional film. The acting is really strong, especially if you're familiar with Greta Gerwig’s work—fans will likely find this appealing. However, her usual style of performance started to feel repetitive for me; she tends to play these relaxed, gentle, and humorous characters, and I’d like to see her branch out into different types of roles and stories. Perhaps that's why some viewers didn't connect with it. Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore are good in their supporting parts, and the cast generally gets enough screen time to feel like co-leads, delivering some memorable dialogue. I ended up enjoying myself more than I expected, as the film turned out to be quite well-crafted, with a thoughtfully developed narrative. It’s disappointing that it's rated R, because otherwise it could have reached a wider audience. The presentation has echoes of Woody Allen’s style—even when characters are facing difficult situations, they handle them calmly and collectedly. This makes for a low-stress viewing experience, particularly if you’ve had a rough day and need something to unwind with. Just don't go in expecting big laughs during the comedic moments. Overall, it’s worth seeing, despite those who claim it's terrible; their tastes may simply differ. Critics generally approved of it, so if you appreciate solid films, give it a try yourself. It has many positive aspects, but I might skip Greta Gerwig’s next film unless she takes on a noticeably different role—I’m getting tired of seeing her in the same kind of character. Ultimately, I do recommend it, though perhaps more for adults than younger viewers. 7/10
