In the romantic comedy 5 to 7, an aspiring young writer in New York City finds his worldview—and his heart—forever altered when he encounters a beautiful, sophisticated French woman. The catch? She is married, and their passionate affair is strictly limited to the hours between 5 and 7 p.m., a time slot her husband has orchestrated to accommodate both their lives. As the young man, played by Anton Yelchin, falls deeper for the enchanting Berenice Marlohe, he must navigate the complexities of a love that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally precarious. Directed by Victor Levin, this charming and witty exploration of love and commitment features a stellar supporting cast including Olivia Thirlby, Glenn Close, and Frank Langella. With its elegant dialogue and a poignant look at the rules we create for romance, the film poses a timeless question about whether true love can flourish within the constraints of a schedule, or if it will inevitably demand to break free.
