Prepared to hate it - somehow I was gripped
26 August 2014
My girlfriend put this on as a random choice from Netflix. When I saw the synopsis I put an imaginary gun to my head and pulled the trigger.

Of course I ended up watching it right to the end and wouldn't let her turn it off when she got bored.

This is a character piece about a woman who is going through a mid life crisis and somehow befriends a stripper. You can see this isn't going to end great but I was kept guessing if they were going to go 'Poison Ivy' or 'Thelma and Louise' or another direction. I think you might too.

I couldn't switch off as I desperately wanted to know why the main character was making these bizarre choices.

It didn't hurt that there the film also has a fair amount of nudity, strippers, and that the lovely Kathryn Hahn gets her boobs out.

On a more serious note. Very good acting, great performances and dialogues, good production etc.
