I absolutely loved this film. What great chemistry between Ann and Nicholas.

They both look so amazing together, i wish they were so in real life. A wise man said: "There's nothing better than a woman with a past and a man with a future".

The ending of the movie is completely different than the ending of the book so I am thankful that the movie ends the way it does

I read the book got through the first 10 pages went to the end saw how it ended and didn’t finish reading it. I am so glad that they changed the ending in the movie because I wasn’t gonna watch it at all until an author friend of mine said, watch it it has a HEA I absolutely love the music love the chemistry between the actors. The movie was 100 times better than the book that’s probably the first time I’ll ever say that.

[@xcobyxzei]

Why did you read the end after only reading 10 pages lol

[@Katarina-ds5mj]

To the narrator, Solene’s daughter would not be in college anymore. After 5 years she would have graduated both high school, which would be in one-year, and college, which would be in 4 years. She’s done. That’s why 5 years was Hayes’ timeline for Solene to promise and revisit their relationship.

[@notimaniinherfeelsagain]

I am SO mad at Hayes' fans and Sol's daughter omds😭😭 If i was a fan I'd probably hate abit too ngl but STFU, u're not in their relationship arghhh... Sol deserved all the happiness.. both of them did💔

[@Persefonecrea]

The real end of the movie is the song at the credits ❤

[@Kbinger06]

Thoughts on this movie : 1) Things could've been shot better at times, the way it was filmed. 2) It's 100% hypocritical for guys to be praised in dating younger women and Women doing the same, to be thought of as Shameful. 🙄 - It's inappropriate whether an Older Man or Woman, to prey on young minors...if they aren't Legal and it's not A Real Relationship happenin'. 3) REAL fans should only focus on the music, not who the artist can/can't date...What they decide to do with their life, It's incredibly Entitled and Selfish to think you can. (I know they Do, like kpop fans, But they shouldn't! ) 4) There's always gonna be people stirring up unpleased comments, always haters...So, you can't try and make them happy and let them affect your choices. Just be a good person for yourself and Live YOUR Life, because they don't matter. 🙌 5) Wish there would have been more scenes with Selenè (?) and Hayes talkin' deep (they had that One scene.) The impact of the first part of the movie LOVED, also like how the daughter knew "Mom's got a life of her own too" and was able to talk to her like A woman goin' through relationship struggle. I liked that, she in return knew how it started affecting her daughter at school and all and broke it off. 6) I think the ending was, underwhelming, they set up the movie so nice 😍 ...With the "Meet- cute". The ending could've been done more impactful with the anticipation. None the less, Glad that they came back to each other after all those years.🤭 7) HANDS DOWN! ✋️ Better relationship than "Anyone But You" 👎 ...Also funny ironically, that they had a bit of an age gap too.

Yes, because it’s different from the book. Also, sometimes there are hidden messages like the color they are wearing representing whatever where people aren’t able to grasp immediately.

She’s 40, not 80

I look like I'm in late 20s early 30s. My friend who's 45 looks like late 20s early 30s and she has older kids. I think a lot of 40 year Olds can look young nowadays and felt this movie was realistic in that aspect.

[@autumnvalley]

Also in real life Anne is 41 and he's 29, so pretty accurate in terms of ending ages

[@kamblockus8760]

[@jondavwal13]

The problem with the book is the author does the trite hackneyed device of the woman lying and saying “I never loved you”. Anything that relies on a lie to get its message across sucks and is certainly not feminist. The author is an idiot. She hated the ending of the movie. My understanding is that Solene is also unlikable in the book.

[@Saffron-sugar]

I see your point, but every female author does not have to make every female character a feminist icon. Some people suck and still can be made characters. There is no formula, as there was in old Hollywood, That must be followed to give a positive message

[@aureliaduarte9944]

Have you READ the book??

[@tomm7868]

So true, the movie is way too better than the book. They made it romantic, sexy but tasteful. I am impressed that they made such beautiful movie from “that” book. I wish I have never read it…..well…… curiosity 🙈

[@rhey81]

This was a comedy?

[@autumnvalley]

I think that the ending is unrealistic. I don't think this would happen, to wait 5 years to get together and suddenly felt like no time went by. If he was a famous pop artist he would be subjected to new people and experiences all the time or new crushes at his age. He would have moved on, and the mother probably would have encountered new men at art gallery or through friends or be focused on her daughter.

[@iamlinda100]

if you truly love someone then it's hard to move on with other people, and they both clearly love each other so much they couldn't be happy with anyone else, hence they reunite.

[@pegapage9603]

[@msFiBi]

Solene needed a therapist, not sex. She is unstable though all the story. She had nothing in common with her lover except sex. I dont understand her devastations over the boy - what does she live about him? Is he careful? Is he Smart? He drags her into a long tour just because feels lonely. And SHE ACCEPTS? How about kids, do they want kids? This is such a weak story. Could have worked if made by Adrian Lyne or Playboy sketch. And the ending of the movie? Wow. Lets wait for 5 more years when we definately will loose hormones or ability to have kids (maybe). Then why meet again? You have NO COMMON INTERESTS people) You wasted your time.

[@mpb3481]

Blame the author of the book this movie was adapted from then. With the exception of the ending because in the book, they break up for good.

[@rhey81]

Well how many so called healthy relationships do you see out there where if you observe them, you notice they have little in common? Too many if ask me. Too many times it was cause someone was hot, not anything from a common interest standpoint. You see videos of girls asking B/F those dumb what would you do questions which reveal her insecurities ans craziness and yet the guy tolerated her behavior. Im like, if you took her package and placed it on a bigger woman whose not as attractive, would you still want. 9/10 times its a hard no.

[@msFiBi]

@@rhey81 Exactly so. The movie was about sex and "having fun". I dont understand the drama. They never really showed love, passion maybe and nothing more. Dumb ending. After 5 years apart they would have zero chemistry.

[@TheMariaelena19]

I don’t usually reply on KZbin, but felt compelled to express my thoughts on your post. First, what may have started as “fun” and initial attraction between Solène and Hayes turned into a healthy, mutually respectful, and beautiful relationship. Play ... being playful, sexual play, banter, all of it … is one of the most important aspects of a healthy relationship and determines fulfillment and longevity. The two main characters have that piece of the equation so well with one another! … so much so that it’s almost tangible. The fact that they each waited five years for the other?? That’s not a “sex only” relationship. That’s deep love and understanding. With regard to the “having children” aspect, Solène already has a child, so perhaps Hayes would want a baby - or perhaps not. Either way, there are options for having children. Finally: NO way do hormones go away with a 20-something year old guy and a 45-yr old woman.

[@mpb3481]

@@TheMariaelena19 Beautifully put. Things may not have worked out that way for the author on whose memoirs this movie is based. But the screenwriters managed to get across enough of the characters’ feelings for, chemistry with and enjoyment of each other that it’s very plausible for them to wind up together. Having children isn’t a biological compunction, so who knows if Soléne wants more or Hayes wants any? And, yes, our sex hormones decrease with age because that’s how our bodies work as we slow down, but studies have shown that the sex drive is strongest in women from their late-twenties to forties whereas in men, it’s in their twenties. So actually, Solène and Hayes are pretty sexually compatible agewise.
