It’s a warm, approachable movie that you’ll get blissfully lost in. Read full review

By the end of this adaptation, we get the full picture of this romance and the two people involved. Read full review

Deceptively courageous and perceptive on parasocial celebrity culture — and on the fallacy that women have expiration dates — The Idea Of You has good, clean fun with two characters it’s impossible not to love. Read full review

As Solène, Hathaway gives a particularly lovely and vulnerable performance. She’s radiant as a woman reconnecting with big, swooping emotions, and reminding herself that those feelings are not the exclusive territory of the young. Read full review
