SYNOPSIS: Outside the Manhattan St. Regis Hotel, aspiring young writer Brian (Anton Yelchin) first meets Arielle (Bérénice Marlohe), the sophisticated wife of a French Diplomat. Though she’s older, married, and the mother of two, Brian can’t help but be drawn to her and the two begin a cinq-à-sept affair. It’s a clash with his traditional values and his parents (Frank Langella and Glenn Close) can barely handle the news, but Brian couldn’t be more smitten. As the two fall deeper in love, Brian begins to wish for more than just the hours of five to seven and soon the two must face the most significant decision of their lives.
For Brian this is all very risky and takes a lot of convincing but for Arielle not so much. She is married but is in an open relationship, one where she can only cavort between the hours of 5 to 7, this goes for the husband and his affairs as well.
Brian’s parents Frank Langella and Glenn Close are introduced to their son’s new love, baggage and all and we see how they have to deal with this unconventional relationship, which as you can imagine, is not very well.
The movie kind of has a Mrs. Robinson feel to it, and is cute in its own way, a modern love story if you will, where love and morality fight one another to win.
