first love, and then deep love
Anne portrays a 40-year-old divorced woman with a high-school daughter in 'The Idea of You,' directed by Michael, whose previous work includes the acclaimed 'The Big Sick.' This romantic comedy is visually appealing and boasts a heart-hitting soundtrack.
What intrigued me most about the film was the complexity of the female lead's emotional journey as she navigates between the spotlight and her personal relationships. However, I felt that the movie lacked depth in exploring this aspect further, which was disappointing.
One aspect I particularly enjoyed was how the director effectively captured the intimacy and vulnerability between the characters as they opened up to each other. This added depth beyond the initial portrayal of failing love, drawing the audience into their emotional journey.
Anne, whom I've admired since her role in the romantic classic 'The Devil Wears Prada,' delivers a compelling performance once again. It's remarkable how Anne appears ageless in her role, seemingly unaffected by the 20-year age gap between her character and her co-star. This aspect adds an interesting layer to their dynamic, as it challenges conventional expectations and allows the audience to focus solely on the characters' connection and journey.
Overall, I would recommend 'The Idea of You' with my eyes closed, rating it at 80%. While it may not be perfect, it's worth watching to discover the type of person you aspire to be.
