Overview
At an idyllic writers retreat in Morocco, a newly single novelist finds an unexpected connection with a younger man who's reevaluating his life choices.
This movie ultimately boils down to two people making a connection in the most unlikely of places with the most unlikely of places. The intimacy between Hemsworth and Dern is unbelievable, and the last act of the film is by far the best part of the movie. I think the cherry on top is that the age difference is not mentioned at all as doing so would have missed the point and taken away from the story.
