It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Sometimes small films are good enough to highlight the good and bads of society. But the thing is they won't to everybody. This is not a message film, but about doing good. Self is important, but still you can care for other than yourself. It was about an average modern day couple. They come across a young woman working in a strip club and try to support her to give up it to live a normal life like them. They know the risk of letting her in, so what comes later is a trouble that affects the family and friendship.You won't believe that it was one of the Tarantino's top ten films of the year 2013. I find it not bad as well. But surely it should have been better. Feature film directional debut for the writer and producer. From the woman filmmaker, women oriented film drama. Fun to watch, yet a very serious thematic. From the cast side, both, Kathryn Hahn and Juno Temple were good. Surely a delightful film if you are not anticipating a big from it.6/10

When I clicked on this movie on Netflix, the title and the poster art made it seem like a light, silly film. While watching I realized it was dramatic and had a lot of layers to it. I really enjoyed it and the acting was amazing. I'd only seen the lead as a quirky supporting actress in films, never the lead. It was quite refreshing to see her in a different light and watch her go through every emotion. I fell in love with the husband, will be googling him for sure! He played his part really well. It probably could have used a bit more humour in the film but as a drama, it was well done. There was one awkward scene where I really felt for the characters. Kind of like, we've all had that moment in our lives that we regret and do not define us. I'm not sure how others felt about this movie but I feel it is worth a watch.

'Afternoon Delight' pretends to push the envelope, but it's just another lightweight Indie comedy-drama with a fickle plot. The story relates how a frustrated LA housewife called Rachel visits a strip club with her husband in order to revive their sexually comatose marriage. A lap dance from a stripper somehow provokes Rachel to hire the girl as a live-in nanny for her young son. This foolish decision is clearly driven by latent desire for the dancer, but the film doesn't develop the idea with any serious intent. The stripper turns out to be a decent nanny, but the new domestic arrangement leads to some awkward situations. After Rachel chooses to accompany her stripper/nanny on a call-girl appointment, she becomes hostile to the girl and the dynamic changes. The script choices remain consistently capricious throughout, exemplified by the meltdown of Rachel's therapist, who suddenly confides her lesbian relationship has broken up, and starts weeping about it during a session - and once again there is no follow-up. Eventually Rachel and her husband get down to business in the bedroom without needing to address any of their problems - so there's that.

My girlfriend put this on as a random choice from Netflix. When I saw the synopsis I put an imaginary gun to my head and pulled the trigger.Of course I ended up watching it right to the end and wouldn't let her turn it off when she got bored.This is a character piece about a woman who is going through a mid life crisis and somehow befriends a stripper. You can see this isn't going to end great but I was kept guessing if they were going to go 'Poison Ivy' or 'Thelma and Louise' or another direction. I think you might too.I couldn't switch off as I desperately wanted to know why the main character was making these bizarre choices.It didn't hurt that there the film also has a fair amount of nudity, strippers, and that the lovely Kathryn Hahn gets her boobs out.On a more serious note. Very good acting, great performances and dialogues, good production etc.
