The Idea of You
Description
Unexpectedly stuck chaperoning her daughter’s trip to Coachella, the last thing on single mom Solène’s (a glowing Anne Hathaway) mind is romance. With everyone frantic over boy band August Moon, Solène escapes the crowds only to have a chance encounter with lead singer Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine). Their attraction is instant and undeniable, as is their 16-year age difference. Solène attempts to treat their liaison as a momentary affair but she is woefully unprepared for the spotlight that follows Campbell’s every move. Against the backdrop of zero privacy, Solène tries to balance the needs of her daughter and demands of her ex-husband (played with relished bite by a reliable Reid Scott), with the growing desires of her heart.
