thiago s @Thiagostone Feb 6, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more

Bahad j @RT27093708 Jul 20, 2024 I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life. See more

Munkhjargal A @RT28084692 Jul 20, 2024 this movie is also about love. It shows that there is a secret behind starting a relationship. It was a wonderful film that the director was able to feel about it. See more

Ron R @RT76285883 Oct 10, 2023 Well I thought it was great. Ironic, heartfelt, heartbroken offbeat. Suit yourself. See more

Kyle M @RT77296778 Oct 5, 2023 Of course the fun anonymity of the premise wouldn't last long under comedic coasting built through the first half till it loosely declines with polished acceptance at the end, charmingly built enough boost from the performances particularly Meryl Streep's always the standout even during a comic level storyline.

john e @EggmanATL May 20, 2022 My 2022 quest to see all of Meryl Street's movie performances continues! This time around the film is Prime, released in 2005. It tells the story of Rafi Gardet (Uma Thurman), a freshly divorced woman of 37, and David Bloomberg (Bryan Greenberg) a 23-year-old struggling artist. The two meet randomly at the onset of the film, and shortly thereafter, David asks Rafi out on a date. Rafi is a little distraught over the age difference, but David doesn't see it as an issue. As Rafi struggles balancing the age difference against the emotional joy and sexual satisfaction that David is providing her, she confides intimate details of her budding relationship with her therapist Lisa Metzger (Streep). Viewers become aware very soon after the story begins unfolding that David is actually Metzger's son. Seems she uses her maiden name for her practice! It takes quite a bit longer before Dr. Metzger comes to realize that the man Rafi has been sharing intimate sexual details about, is her son… and this realization provides Streep with some of the funniest acting moments of her career. Streep imbues Metzger with a range of quirky uncomfortable fidgeting that is simply hilarious. The chemistry between Thurman and Greenberg is delightful, and the acting is top notch all the way around. Director Ben Younger peppers the movie with interesting cutaways that help elevate feelings, moods and humor in an unexpected way. Once the "big reveal" becomes known to all the characters there is a small amount of floundering within the story. When originally viewing I was disappointed with the film's final arc, but in hindsight it was because I was harboring a pre-conceived conclusion I wanted to happen. Upon reflection, the movie isn't about romance, it's about connections and growth. David's growth, Rafi's growth, and even Lisa Metzger's growth. Adjusting my perspective allowed me to enjoy the movie much more. The website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an aggregated audience score of 52%. I think that is a shame. I would give it a score of at least 75%. The movie has much more going for it than not. It's not a great film, but it is an enjoyable one that has an original premise, respectable acting and many, many good laughs. See more
