She's a real work of art.

Maurice is an aging veteran actor who becomes taken with Jessie, the grandniece of his closest friend. When Maurice tries to soften the petulant and provincial young girl with the benefit of his wisdom and London culture, their give-and-take surprises both Maurice and Jessie as they discover what they don't know about themselves.

Kyle Smith · New York Post 100.00/100.00

A sublime meditation that is one of this year's wisest, warmest and funniest films.

YiQiao 3.00/5.00

当我们要开始真正谈话的时候便是永无止境的沉默//能够理解老去的人对于年轻的渴求 仿佛是一种无法控制的本能 大概是克莱尔的膝盖 恩娇的脚踝 是对生命力的渴望//年迈对我而言最可怕的是最值得信赖的自己在精神在肢体上逐渐不受控

David Ansen · Newsweek 90.00/100.00

A heartbreaking comedy that is simultaneously funny and sad, raunchy and sweet, funky and elegiac. These fresh, unexpected juxtapositions are a specialty of the writer Hanif Kureishi ("My Beautiful Laundrette"), a sworn enemy of cliché.
