Gives us a working relationship in progress rather than the usual Hollywood sitcom.
...a story about bad love - and how, sometimes, that is exactly what we needed at the time.

A thematically rich exploration of a May-December relationship.
I admire the filmmakers because they steadfastly refused to tack on a Hollywood ending.
