Overview
40-year-old single mom Solène begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.
I know that this may sound odd, but this movie reminded me of a rom com that masqueraded as a drama. Don’t get me wrong, this movie is a straight-ahead drama and is not trying to be anything else. Sometimes a movie just grabs you from the opening scenes and doesn’t let go, and this movie was that for me. The chemistry between the two leads was ridiculous, and I didn’t want it to end. I think what is all the more surprising for me is that I can’t recall liking Anne Hathaway in any other movie. When it ended, I wanted to go back and watch it again.
