Notes:
Harper Sloane was insecure and unsure of her professional future. Unfortunately, indecision was not an option in Harper's family, a wealthy household of overachieving attorneys. Harper had simply ceded to the expectation that she would be attending Harvard Law School. With her future seemingly set in stone, Harper couldn't possibly foresee that a single man would transform her and change the course of her life.
Romantic - This thoughtful drama is aimed squarely at adults, which is the
audience that would appreciate it. The pace may be too slow for
younger adults, and the film is not appropriate for children.
PROFANITY: Occasional use of strong profanity. SEX/NUDITY: Brief sex and unrelated nudity. VIOLENCE: None DRUGS/ALCOHOL: Some alcohol and cigarettes. ACTION: None COMEDY: An occasional comic line or situation.
In recent years, onscreen romantic pairings of older men and much younger women have become more and more commonplace. However, rarely, if ever, do films make an issue of vast age difference, even when the audience is slightly discomfited by the fact that these man can, indeed, be these women's fathers. Guinevere is a film far removed from the Hollywood mainstream that perpetuates that trend, but its intelligent examination of the girl-man romantic dynamic is a refreshing change of pace.
In a family full of over-achievers, Harper Sloane (Sarah Polly) was the
youngest and the odd one out. Then she met Connie Fitzpatrick (Stephen Rea), the
photographer at her sister's wedding, who's about to become the one man who
could take her away from it all.
He's charming and shaggily attractive, with an intense sexual energy that
draws her into his world. As a romance begins to unfold, his artistic passions
become rights of passage for Harper, who inexperience and awkward nature make
her the perfect student. As Harper comes out of her shell, he'll show her a
world of possibilities she's never imagined.
