5 to 7

5 to 7, a new movie starring Bérénice Marlohe (best known for her work in Skyfall) and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), is a sappy and at times sweet story of a diplomat’s wife and her lover.
Brian Blum (Yelchin) is a young unemployed writer, who has never had a story published yet still seems to live an easy life in New York City. He meets a gorgeous diplomat’s wife and starts an affair. Arielle (Marlohe), is a French woman and mother of two that can only see Brian between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, hence the title.
Whilst trying to be whispy and romantic like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, unfortunately Yelchin and Marlohe are unevenly matched. The film is lifted by Glenn Close and Frank Langella who play Brian’s parents, but their time on screen is not enough. Not a bad movie, but not a great one either. (LB)
