BESTIES
Today's movie was
This is an offbeat sweet story of two people who would not normally meet or mix. As neighbors a young gay man in film school and an older unmarried woman who is still looking for her place in life find the time to be together to just hang out. A lot.
She is hiding from success, he from moving on in his life as a gay man.
When Nate meets James his time suddenly goes to the new "boyfriend" and, after a disastrous dinner together, James must decide where to put his priorities. It helps that James is a dick but still, not so easy.
I don't want to tell a lot about this. I am not even sure this film should have a preview. It is kind of delicate and rare.
When Nate and Margaret find each other after their trouble, there is a nice grown up feel to the whole thing. For both.
I liked this a lot and wouldn't mind seeing it again.
A 4 out of Netflix5.
