Based on Robinne Lee's 2017 book of the same name, The Idea of You has won over hearts with its gripping tale of love, emphasizing the connection between 41-year-old Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine.
The main character of the movie is 40-year-old mother Solène Marchand (played by Hathaway), who runs an art gallery and must navigate the complexity of her identity following a turbulent divorce from her spouse Daniel (played by Reid Scott).
When Solène goes to the Coachella music festival with her 16-year-old daughter Izzy (played by Ella Rubin), her life takes an unexpected turn. There, she meets charismatic pop star Hayes Campbell (Galizine), who plays with August Moon, the lead boy band.
Through their encounter throughout the festival, Solène and Hayes delve into topics of love, self-discovery, and the transformative potential of fortuitous connections.
Exploring Love and Art: The Journey of Solène and Hayes in The Idea of You
Solène finds a completely new side to herself as she and Hayes set off on a fast-paced romance and travel the world together. But they have their share of difficulties in their relationship. Solène has to deal with the attention-grabbing limelight that comes with dating a celebrity, as well as the criticism of their age gap from the general public and her own social circle.
An important component of their relationship is art. In an attempt to impress Solène, Hayes buys every item in her gallery at the beginning of the film. Art plays a more important role as their relationship grows; towards the end of the movie, Hayes even chooses a unique piece for Solène herself.
The movie's last scene, in which their love reaches a poignant conclusion against the backdrop of art and passion, is when the gallery setting becomes meaningful.
