The Idea of You

AmazonPrime Videomight have a new hit on its hands – its latest original movie,The Idea of You, starring Anne Hathaway, has launched to a stellar 88% scoreon Rotten Tomatoes.

You’re only thebest streaming serviceas long as you can keep cranking out great movies and shows, after all, and this is looking like a really nice addition to Amazon’s Prime Video catalogue.

The Idea of Youis based on a best-selling novel and tells the story of 40-year-old Solène, who has a meaningful chance encounter with a much younger man.

You can expect plenty of steamy romance, as you can see inthe trailer(above), and since the movie is out now you don’t have to wait either – whileThe Idea of Youis in some cinemas for a limited run too, it’s available to stream at no extra cost for Amazon Prime members right now.

That Rotten Tomatoes score is worth returning to, as well – it might come down a little (or a lot!) as more reviews start to trickle in, but at the time of writing a score of 88% placesThe Idea of Youat joint-second in Anne Hathaway’s all-time filmography.

That’s just aboveThe Dark Knight Rises, tied withBrokeback Mountain, and just a hair’s breadth belowDark Waters– the last of which is in first place on 89%. Now that’s quite some company to be resting alongside, especially for a rom-com.
