This movie is a gem for an indie lover like me. The simplicity of the story allowed focus on the complex and nuanced layers of the characters. Quite understated in its presentation, the film allowed us to fully digest each of the completely moving scenes. In each scene, there were so many feelings that resonated with me. This movie had a similar unrequited love theme that is found throughout the indie film landscape, but it still came across as fresh and compelling. The actor's chemistry was strong, though it took a few scenes to kick into gear. As a big fan of character movies, this one delivers on every level.While AmyAmy Hargreaves, in her quirky, super appealing, and unpredictable realization of the character was particularly engaging, I felt the most important scenes in the film were delivered brilliantly by the jilted husband played by Mark Blum. Blum was absolutely perfect in every scene and had the gravity to pull the other actors into a heightened drama. The smallness of this production was also refreshing and intimate. I love when films don't feel slick and over-rehearsed. I would have given this film a 10, were it not for a certain overly-sharp character shift of Amy Hargreaves in a scene set in the morning. But I will overlook that because the rest of the film was working so well. They say 90% of a director's job is casting. I bet that was the case in this excellent film, too. Bravo to everyone involved in this movie.

Everything you need to know about this movie and these characters can be felt in one scene. After a long trip away in Flordia to take caring of his elderly parent, Henry comes home to a wife that insults his body and his penis minutes before going to bed. Henry tries to resolve whatever is going on with Ellen a romantic initiation of sex. She, of course, turns him down and puts him to a bed. As you can already tell I didn't like Ellen. Shes unfaithful to a husband that seems to adore her. He's provided her with a very comfortable life, including a yoga studio in an expensive part of New York. What he gets in return is very little favor, kindness or empathy. And although he doesn't want children, he supports her desire to be a mother. Pro: Don't go into this movie expecting to like these people or their behavior. People are sometimes assholes and this movie is a realistic demonstration of that. Kudos to the writer and the performers. Monica is likable and awkward and pulls this off without being "that girl who tries too hard to be quirky". After watching this movie, if you're single you'll feel a little less lonely and more free...because relationships and love are messy. Con: Movie poster says "Full-bodied and passionate" ?? Did we see the same movie? I felt zero passion between to Ellen and Travis. Boning doesn't constitute passion. Matt McGorry, although handsomely is mostly forgettable in this role. At times he seems judgmental of Ellen cheating on her husband whilst never questioning his own morality and fault. I didn't hate this movie but I waited to like it.

This movie did not resonate with me. Many people confuse infatuation and lust with love. There is absolutely no development that would even remotely lead to love. I found it to be boring, fake emotions and an absolute lack of chemistry between leading actors. While Amy Hargreaves was OK, Matt McGorry was completely flat. I did not like or cared about the characters. 44 years old Ellen turned out to be emotionally unstable and insecure, and behaved like a teenager. Not really attractive. Older women usually are secure and confident and that is what attracts young men. Here, Ellen is not much different than Monica, who is in her 20s. Fights between Henry and Ellen were really out of place and did not contribute anything to the story. Some dialogues where pretty stupid (You dried my eggs, LOL).

I loved this movie. There was such authenticity and passion in the acting and the script. The main characters' lives were fleshed out and you understood them without just an introduction into the romantic relationships between the two of them. In addition the movie did not seem to follow a generic script for romantic movies and added the additional novelty of a relationship between a woman who is a little bit older than the man. It also portrayed this relationship in a natural way like it happens in real life instead of making it awkward or weird. I also liked how well thought out the parts of the movie were- the ending made sense with the beginning and you get a sense of closure which was really nice. Overall, really good!
