Storyline

Edit

At some point, everyone has asked the question, why is it so hard to find love? In this final installment of the autobiographical trilogy that includes Vinyl and I, Curmudgeon, Alan Zweig reflects with disarming candour on why, if he longs for a partner and children, he is still single at mid-life. Through intimate, heartfelt and often hilarious interviews with a series of diverse, smart and attractive single women, Zweig explores yearnings for the romantic myths of our culture and the difficulty of finding and sustaining relationships. Some women have come to accept and prefer being alone, but many still dream of a future they can share. Rather than remaining the objective observer, Zweig approaches his female subjects as kindred spirits, sharing their vulnerability and openness. A perfect mixed tape of love songs provides the backdrop for this courageously candid look at love and longing. —Hot Docs

Beautifully Introspective

This movie shows the introspection of many different women and the author about their extended periods of being single.

You learn about all their feelings, their views, their romantic adventures over the years. How their disappointment and heartbreak have affected them.

It was a little sad to see these women and this man longing for love so late in their life, some of them even being on a long drought in-between serious relationships.

In my opinion though it was a kind of beautiful sadness, because it showed me that on the surface many people may act kind, happy, and content with their lives, but underneath the everyday persona, and all the barriers and walls they put up most women really just want to be loved. I know that sounds cliché, but these interviews are proof.

I can also see the social pressure from society, friends and family to be married and have a family or there must be "something wrong" with you come out in this as well.

The author says something like "this movie should be shown in high school so that people will know that falling-in-love happily-ever-after isn't inevitable." With the 60% divorce rate these days, I agree. Maybe some young people will make more effort develop better dating skills or work harder keep their relationships together after watching this. Both of which I think are perfectly fine goals.

Best of all, seeing all the lonely women out there longing for love showed me that there is lots of opportunity for nice, responsible, hardworking, guys to find love. It's never too late.
