Two of my favourite actors and an intelligent script make this a 6.5 for me. Emma Thompson does complex emotions and witty dialogue as brilliantly always. Daryl Mccormack does depth, vulnerability masked by charm, and emotional connection very well.

The script allows for some exploration of themes like the weight of social expectations, holding yourself back, and accepting the uniqueness of individuals and what they desire.

The type of relationship the main characters they have and the boundaries within that mean the themes dont go deep and that means things can feel rushed on occasion.

Lots of things get explored and some even bigger almost socially taboo themes get fully opened up like the desirability of older women, the ability of younger men to have preferences beyond what's socially accepted, and living in the world being open about who you are.

Some brilliant things in this film and very watchable because of our two charming leads and the interesting script make the time pass quickly.
