ComedyDrama

An uptight documentary filmmaker and his wife find their lives loosened up a bit after befriending a free-spirited younger couple.

VIBE

This film feels like a wry, often uncomfortable, look at the anxieties of middle age colliding with youthful exuberance. It's a smart, conversational exploration of authenticity, ambition, and the ever-shifting landscape of identity, all wrapped in a distinctly New York indie sensibility that's both funny and poignant.
