With these kinds of insights into being an older man, I’m surprised that the film was directed by a woman. Kingsley delivers a comfortably awkward performance. Cruz is a natural beauty.

Really struck a chord with me. I’ve been that guy so many times. But as engaging as their relationship was, I found myself being pulled out of the movie by the fact that a guy that needy and jealous would not last 30 seconds with a girl that beautiful in real life.
