This film has some good moments when exploring relationships. Meryl Streep's comedic timing as a Jewish therapist is excellent; Uma Thurman (as the older woman, Rafi) is self-assured, vulnerable and sexy. Bryan Greenberg as the younger man (Streep's son; Thurman's love interest) is also good, alternating between maturity (the man) and immaturity (the boy).
The story is good and has potential, but I feel that there are just too many irrelevant and extraneous scenes which make the film drag out and too long. It's a pity, because the end scene is great-- it's destined to be a classic - but it comes too late, at a point where the film should have ended 15 minutes previously.
The acting is good, but th film sags too much and is not the soufflé it could and should have been.
It's a bit like Prime steak being served too overdone for comfort!
