Rafi, played by Uma Thurman, is trying to move on from a difficult divorce when she encounters David (Bryan Greenberg), a younger artist. Their connection seems improbable given their age difference—she’s fourteen years his senior—but they embark on a relationship that she discusses with her therapist, portrayed by Meryl Streep. While the romance undeniably involves physical attraction, Rafi insists she has genuine feelings for him and isn't simply driven by superficial desires. The budding relationship progresses quickly; they introduce each other to friends and begin living as a couple. However, a surprising revelation emerges: his mother is her therapist! This disclosure, along with some awkward details about David’s anatomy becoming known to his mother, forces the situation to change dramatically. It remains to be seen whether their romance can survive or if it will simply fizzle out as a fleeting hormonal attraction. The film isn't bad, largely thanks to Streep’s comedic portrayal of the Jewish mother and psychiatrist in her limited screen time. Thurman and Greenberg also share a believable—though perhaps overly earnest—chemistry, prompting reflections on the relevance of age (or even faith) when it comes to love or desire. I found the ending disappointing; it felt unresolved despite Ato Essandoh’s efforts as the concierge, Damien. The production occasionally feels melodramatic, resembling a studio-bound sitcom at times, but with this cast and some generosity of spirit, you likely won't dislike it—I certainly didn't.
