A playboy restaurateur and a free-spirited woman find intimate, melancholy romance as fate looms.
Romantic. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video, Hoopla (free), YouTube (free) and Tubi (free).
Heads up on moderate sex and nudity. That is past what the PG-13 on the box suggests. Beyond that, mild language and no real violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
