Excellent performances by two fabulous British talents

This is a beautiful, gentle, romantic comedy, with absolutely fabulous performances by the leads.Simply can't agree with other reviews that describe this as a waste of talent and humdrum. Sure, if you don't understand irony or romanticism then it's not for you.Why would you assume locale from the cast? Would you expect Oppenheimer to be from Ireland and set in Birmingham (UK not US) hahaha!!I've always felt Douglas Hodge goes a bit unrecognised. As for Gena McKee, for me this is right up there with "Our Friends In The North". Love you guys!We're all entitled to our opinions, I guess that's what makes the world on occasions.

Try a similar movie instead

I really wanted to like this movie and at the beginning I did. Mostly because it reminded me of the Marcia Gay Harden movie "If I Were You." - similarly that movie involves a middle-aged lead that falls into a local theatre production and plot evolves from there.This movie got a little too messy at the end with the leads coming off a bit too unlikable for my taste. The ending didn't work for me either - it seemed like they wanted to have it both ways. I would have liked to see the plot of Romeo and Juliet connecting with the plot of the leads a bit more.Things I liked - you could definitely see the spark between the leads.I like this genre but this one just didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Unsettling film

On the surface it is comedy, but we joke about what hurts, and this film looks into the question of doubt about past decisions. If you did something years ago and have been living with it ever since, can you do better? If so, should you? And if it does not turn out, then what? Thoroughly amoral and full of mixed signals, this wonderfully nihilistic movie looks at the confusion of characters who did what seemed right and then regretted it later, but true to form are too afraid to leap onto whatever comes next. Darkly brilliant portrayals, morbid humor, and lots of the F-word make this a fun watch even if challenging. All of the acting is top-notch and the script is an object lesson in how to use space (slow pace) without lapsing into circularity; there is no fat on it.
