The film revolves around a complex relationship between Rafi and David, and there may be a great difference between them. Rafi is a 37-year-old woman who falls in love with a 23-year-old painter, which is somewhat strange to some. Things seem to be completely different in a short period when she discovers this amazing woman.
A movie as weirdly titled as it is constructed, the romantic comedy Prime is proof that even the great Meryl Streep occasionally slips up in her acting choices.
Ironically, this therapeutic romantic comedy ultimately suffers from too many unexplored issues.

Like most relationship films it has a tendency to self-indulgence. Prime is less about relationships than it is about life lessons - a funny, bittersweet one; but that is unfortunately what a lot of relationships turn out to be.
Once the unlikely premise is established, the movie drags on, injected with one-liners and padded with way too many complicated misunderstandings, reconciliations and breakups.

Really is nice, often charming, occasionally funny.
The sort of movie where all of the best jokes are in the trailer, but these days a romantic comedy with anything worth quoting at all is something of an accomplishment.

Meryl Streep brilla en esta comedia romántica graciosa y disfrutable sobre el amor, los prejuicios, y otras costumbres muy humanas.
