This is a very underrated movie.

The story is simple - an aging music critic (Toni C) is forced to write about a famous one-album wonder whom she dated just before he disappeared, twenty years ago. She is goes to bed with a lot of men and if she were a male we would probably just accept that as part of her lifestyle but of course many reviewers have labeled her promiscuous. Are men promiscuous?

Along the way, she meets and falls in love with a young singer on his way up and has an aging, wealthy hipster fall in love with her.

This is a story about love - what happens to us when we cannot get over a past love and what happens when we fall in love with the 'wrong' people.

It is an adult romance story - funny but never cynical.

You may recognize yourself along the way - certainly you will recognize the feelings and memories and longings.
