About
You might like this if you enjoy old Hollywood melodramas about ambition, regret, and tangled romance, especially if Alice Adams or Barbary Coast appeal to you; Not for you if the central age-gap storyline sounds too off-putting.
Pros: strong central performances; engaging multigenerational drama; lively logging scenes | Cons: uncomfortable age-gap premise; uneven pacing; lead feels miscast
