I wanted to watch a romantic movie so I chose "The Idea of You" and it didn't disappoint as it effortlessly dives into the complexities of love, age, and societal judgment.
"The Idea of You, starring Anne Hathaway as Solène and Nicholas Galitzine as Hayes, takes us on a journey as we witness romance unfolds despite fame and criticism.
This movie follows the story of Solène, a single mother who unexpectedly finds herself entangled in a passionate romance with Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, a popular boy band.
As Solène navigates the newfound romance, she becomes the target of harsh societal judgment and online backlash.
Anne Hathaway delivers a stunning performance as Solène, portraying the complexities of her emotions with authenticity. She brilliantly captures the inner conflicts faced by a woman torn between societal expectations and her passions. Nicholas Galitzine perfectly portrays his character, as a young man discovering the complexities of love, he's not afraid to show his emotions and go after what he wants, which is very admirable.
One of the most commendable aspects of "The Idea of You" is its portrayal of the double standards faced by women who date younger men.
The film fearlessly tackles the issue of ageism that women often endure when they pursue happiness outside of what's socially acceptable.
Solène's journey demonstrates the prejudices and judgments women face when they challenge conventional relationships.
My favorite phrase from "The Idea of You" is that people hate seeing women happy. It sheds light on the unfair scrutiny and criticism women endure simply for daring to find love.
The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the frequent concert scenes. While these scenes may be visually appealing and showcase the band's popularity, they sometimes overshadow Solène and Hayes' relationship.
If you're looking for a movie to watch this weekend, then I suggest "The Idea of You".
