In Lynn Shelton's quietly perceptive drama, Rosemarie DeWitt stars as Abby, a massage therapist whose life takes an unexpected turn when she suddenly develops an aversion to physical touch, a crisis that upends her once-comfortable existence. Meanwhile, her brother Paul, played by Josh Pais, is a tightly-wound dentist whose own life begins to shift when his practice unexpectedly flourishes after a chance encounter with a new patient. As Abby grapples with her newfound phobia, she seeks guidance from her friend Bronwyn, portrayed by Allison Janney, while Paul finds himself drawn into an unlikely relationship with a young woman, played by Ellen Page. With a supporting cast including Scoot McNairy and Ron Livingston, this introspective drama explores themes of connection, vulnerability, and the strange ways people navigate their emotional and physical boundaries. Shelton crafts a warm yet achingly honest portrait of characters struggling to find balance in a world that demands constant contact, blending gentle humor with poignant observations about the human condition. The film's R rating allows for frank discussions of intimacy and personal space, making it a thoughtful examination of what it means to truly touch and be touched.
