madeleine-zuber-1993 I began this movie, knowing little of what awaited me. Many movies you watch in life are movies that just fleet by, without having an impact on your view of life, of love, of what's important to you. This movie was and remains different. It is a movie that will challenge your idea of life and of love foremost. If you are prepared for this, then I strongly advice you to watch this movie. It was gripping without its like. I have never been this moved by a movie, and it will probably take a long time for me to find a movie of its like. 10/10

ankeyu Lately I watched 5 to 7 movie on Netflix. I was very tired and was looking for a movie to relax and enjoy dinner time before I go to sleep. And 5 to 7 played its role very well in that respect. It's a perfect movie for such need. As you can see in the trailer it is a story based on very unusual idea of relationship based on two hour meeting per day. Lot of questions comes into your mind while watching this movie making you deny this idea presented in the here but remember that this is just a story telling. And this movie has this consistent soothing and loving tone which keep suppressing those thoughts and make you enjoy the story. Anton & Bérénice played the leading characters amazingly. Anton played a role of young American writer fighting to understand and be part of this unusual relationship. He was expected to be a harmless person in love and trying to be as ethical as possible. Bérénice played a role of older married french women who is charming enough to make you forget about everything and just be in love with her. Their costumes were chosen very nicely to give this movie both french & American touch. Some scenes shows you the dreamy lights of love in a city. Last but not the least this movie also capture the joy of friendship through an unrealistic character. Overall it was a perfectly balanced movie to watch beside your loved ones and I really enjoyed it.

Chairman I usually sample reviews across the spectrum to get a feel for the worthiness of a flick. I failed to do so last night, and fell for the exuberance of the first 3 gushing raters, who wrote of well-developed characters and other gems. Being in the mood for something French must have dulled my vigilance. For a spot-on professional critique read Daniel Walber's (FilmSchoolRejects). I read it the following morning to confirm that it's not just me growing old and bitter. If you are looking for a visually pleasing, mindless stream of bubbles to pass your evening - this movie may work for you. All scenery is nicely filmed; no argument there. However, if the thought of watching yet another episode of the lifestyles of rich & famous with no point to it whatsoever makes you noxious - don't do it! There are no characters in this movie, but there are plenty of cultural clichés that will make you puke; I promise.

leonblackwood Review: I did find the beginning of this movie a bit strange, because the random events that led to Brian (Anton Yelchin) and Arielle (Berenice Marlohe) having an affair, was pretty quick for two people who just met on the streets of a New York and the fact that she is married with kids, also made it feel slightly unrealistic. I did like the chemistry between the two lovers, who only was unable to meet in a hotel room between 5pm and 7pm but the strange thing about the film is that her husband, Valery (Lambert Wilson), was also having an affair with his assistant Jane (Olivia Thirlby), and everyone knew what was happening, including Arielle's kids. After a while, Brian wants more than 2 hours with Arielle and he asks her to leave her husband but she isn't willing to leave her flamboyant life style, and to take her kids away from there dad, for a relationship that is based on 2 hours a day. Which is understandable! Anyway, the first half of the movie is fast moving and the witty script made it a decent watch but once reality kicks in, the movie gets pretty serious and the ending is quite predictable. Personally, I thought that Brian was going to end up with Jane because they had great chemistry on screen but they both ended up getting married and having children with different partners. From an entertainment point of view, it seemed like a typical Woody Allen, New York type of love story at the beginning but then it went downhill after the relationship went sour. Average!Round-Up: Although this movie got great reviews, and Glenn Close and Frank Langella was cast as Brian's parents, it still didn't do too well at the box office, mainly because Anton Yelchin hasn't really established his name yet. The Russian born 27 year old, has starred in some big movies like the new Star Trek franchise as Chekov, the new Fright Night, which was pretty poor, the Beaver with Mel Gibson, Alpha Dog, the under rated House of D and Along Came A Spider but he's yet to make a big impact on the big screen. At such a young age and with another Star Trek due to come out this year, he has plenty of time to become a household name. Anyway, this is the first movie, written and directed by Victor Levin who is known for writing the TV series, Mad About You, Win A Date with Tad Hamilton, Then She Found Me, My Sassy Girl, We Are Family and a couple of episodes of Mad Men. He could have easily given this film a happy ending, which wouldn't have been morally correct were the kids are in involved but at least there experience together, stuck with them throughout there life's. For his first movie, he didn't do too bad but it does dry up towards the end.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $170,000I recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/romance/comedies starring Anton Yelchin, Berenice Marlohe, Olivia Thirlby, Eric Stolz, Glenn Close, Frank Langella, Lambert Wilson and Jocelyn DeBoer. 5/10
