Prime

Comedy, Drama, Romance
USA  /  English

Prime tells the story of how a famous psychologist (Meryl Streep) is suddenly faced with the notion that her son (Bryan Greenberg) is actually dating one of her patients (Uma Thurman), with awareness on none of the sides but her own. This peculiar situation becomes then the alma mater of the movie, and the implications of the situation as a whole are as unpredictable as human. Streep's character finds out very soon that things are very different when it is your own son's heart at risk of being broken if Thurman's character follows her advice, and Thurman faces problems being in love with someone so much younger ("I have T-shirts older than you!" she says at a certain point). The whole plot develops to a surprisingly reasonable ending for this type of film.
