Rating: 8/10
This movie has some shades of a Woody Allen film in its character
studies of people and in capturing the atmosphere of Manhattan. It
examines family and sexual relationships between a husband and wife as
well as extramarital love and sex. It looks at a young man's struggle
with his sexual and romantic feelings. This is a psychological drama
that highlights guilt, jealousy and even an important aspect of the
oedipal complex. It is complicated and heavy stuff and it all flows
from the pen of screenwriter Allen Loeb, who had written several
successful movies before this earlier script ultimately came to
fruition. This didn't happen until Marc Webb became attached to it as
director and a terrific ensemble cast was put together which includes
Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, Cynthia Nixon, Kiersey Clemons and Kate
Beckinsale. However, the character who ties the plot together is
relative newcomer, Callum Turner, who plays Thomas, the 25-year-old son
who ultimately makes deep seated discoveries about himself and each of
his parents before he can move on with his life.
This is the type of movie that will capture your attention and make you
ponder each character's motivation. The story has depth, poignancy and
surprises which will grab hold you and won't let go throughout the
film. It certainly kept us thinking and talking as we left the theater.
