This undoubtedly makes for somewhat uncomfortable viewing at times, with the older men perving over the youngish Jodie Whittaker (think dirty old men). She (Jodie) certainly gives a pretty decent performance as Jessie though. As the plot develops, the film becomes more poignant (believe it or not). There's some good dialogue and its even somewhat thoughtful, which I wasn't reckoning it would be at first. Having said that, it's fairly quiet at some times and I felt that was good too, in those moments, as your left wondering what either person are thinking and feeling, what they'd say if they spoke up. I was intrigued by how the two main characters develop as they get to know each other a little more. I liked the scenes set in art galleries and seeing how Jessie responds to the mens behaviour and remarks. There are some funny moments and some cringe-y ones but its a pretty well made film overall. The background music/muzack is a little over the top perhaps in parts but it's a pretty decent film for the most part and yes, I'd recommend this film, certainly to fans of Jodie Whittaker and perhaps Pete O'Toole fans as well, although if your uncomfortable with the theme of older men (near retirement age) admiring young women, then this perhaps isn't for you but otherwise it's certainly worth seeing.
