Review of 5 to 7 (2014) by Michael S — 07 Jan 2015

We saw this at the Palm Springs Film Festival and loved it. It may not have big names or a large budget, but 5 to 7 has what it does have is a wonderful Woody Allen-ish script written by Howard Levin (the writer also directed) that tickles, amuses and pushes the audience into dealing with some uncomfortable but fun questions about relationships.

It is an excellent piece of writing. The screenplay introduces us to struggling but gifted young writer who begins an affair with an older woman from France whose open marriage dictates that they can meet only between the hours of 5 to 7.

Frank Langella and Glenn Close join in laugh-filled supporting roles playing the funniest and most unlikely Jewish parents. These two are hilarious, as is the movie. A definite must see in 2015.
