I'm the first to criticize age gaps in film but if it's based on a true story then who cares

[sarahvma]

True. I just feel like visually the promo image really emphasizes how much he looks like her dad here.

[rubie_dubidoux]

it doesn't help that what she's wearing screams trendy 2021 teen and he looks like an adjunct creative writing professor

[sarahvma]

Now that you say that, if he didn't have the mustache this would be my exact kink so maybe I'm just jealous.

LMAO.

as a matthew goode stan... the things he makes me watch for him smh.

[sarahvma]

Honestly he could've been on such a hot streak after The Crown.

I actually just learned about her on The Great Pottery Throw Down this week! The challenge was to make an art deco set inspired by Clarice's work.

I hope it's actually about the way she broke barriers in the art world, because this could very easily turn into "here's this important woman, but the most important thing about her is the dude she fucked." And I would hate that.

Anyway, I don't watch Bridgerton, but I'm glad to see that Phoebe's annoying bangs don't exist in this world.

In fairness, I'm the asshole here because none of the official press on this film focuses on their relationship or even mentions it. To the point where I wonder if they will cover it and/or if they'll make him seem supportive but kind of creepy?

I trust a female writer/director team more than I'd trust this with dudes, but it's hard to know for sure.

I wouldn't be comfortable if they try to make it seem like he's 100% a good dude if he was cheating on his wife with a much younger woman.

But obviously there's the risk that too much focus on their relationship diminishes her accomplishments, etc.

Well, to be fair, he was also key to her work's distribution and ability to be developed. They appear to have been a real partnership so, it's hard to make him just a background character.

[sarahvma]

True. I think my biggest curiosity is how they'll portray that without necessarily giving him more credit than he's due.

[therearewords]

I hope there's plenty of room for him to be tall, gangly and awkwardly sexy.

[sarahvma]

As hot as I find him, he's at his best when he's playing a jerk, though.

[therearewords]

He can do all that on top of it.
