‘Anne Hathaway is astonishingly great in The Idea of You.
‘You see how Solène recounting her failed marriage still eats at her, and Hathaway conveys her sadness, disgust, weariness, and resignation beautifully with tiny reactions that feel so lived-in’.
‘THE IDEA OF YOU is pure JOY. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine is insane. Demands to be watched over & over again.
‘While the premise is fun and will leave you giddy, it’s also about embracing your true self in the very best way. Ah! Couldn’t stop smiling’.
‘Anne Hathaway can do no wrong in The Idea Of You.
‘From her character’s sexually liberated Essex Hotel grown and sexy pop up romp, debilitating emotional breakdown over her husband’s infidelity and betrayal, to her viral mortified mom walk of shame at her daughter’s summer camp, Anne ticks all the boxes on this very real, rejuvenated art dealer slash Coachella mom scenario.
‘The Idea Of You while wrapped in a sugary boy band come up package of dance moves and predictable beats, turns the tables on something that’s still taboo, older women with younger adult men and it seems to still make some men mad.
‘If you want to watch two glamorous, sexy, chemistry filled leads navigate real life awkward scenarios with everyone’s eyeballs raging with judgement, make sure to stream it on Prime Video’.
