What is The Idea of You about?

Based on Robinne Lee's novel of the same name, The Idea of You follows 40-year-old single mother Solène as she begins a very unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of the world famous boyband August Moon.

Solène ends up having to take her teenage daughter to Coachella after her ex-husband pulls out of the trip. She meets Hayes backstage and sparks begin to fly immediately. And that's all we'll say! No spoilers before it drops! (Although, if you wanna read the book plot for spoilers, we're not stopping you...)

There's brand new original music from the fictional August Moon, plenty of sexy moments between Solène and Hayes that'll no doubt set social media on fire, and some brilliant performances from Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine.

Reviews have been incredible so far, with the film sitting at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Looks like we know what we'll be doing for the rest of the week... (Binge-watching The Idea of You and wishing August Moon were real x)
