5 to 7

Anton Yelchin and Bernice Marlohe are the romantic leads and are supported admirably by Glenn Close, Frank Langella, and Olivia Thirlby. Great comedic material as well as a poignant, unusual storyline. I purchased this video from Amazon/Prime/Online about a year ago after having viewed it on Showtime via TWC. I wished to view it again sometime later and found it was NOT available via my TWC Showtime on-demand set-top-box listing. I checked the internet Showtime listings and found it was still in the Showtime library. I contacted TWC and told them that Showtime had this movie available and why couldn't I see it in the TWC/Showtime on demand catalog. After much hand waving TWC admitted that their Showtime catalog was some subset of the actual Showtime listing. I immediately voiced my displeasure and cancelled my TWC SHOWTIME/HBO/STARZ/CINEMAX subscriptions, bought a Fire-TV and subscribed to Showtime on Amazon. As far as I can tell, all Showtime advertised online content is available via Amazon online distribution. To further guarantee that this movie would always be available (I liked it that much) I purchased an electronic copy from Amazon Online.The point is: please be aware that even though you may be paying the full freight monthly subscription via your cable provider, you may not have access to the entire content possible. Eye opener to me. In my case TWC did not offer an explanation other than they couldn't provide the 5-7 movie. Period. I have been a Time-Warner/Road-Runner customer for nearly 30 years. I always assumed that all the content from the premium services was available as a pass-thru from the local cable provider. I was never aware of any TWC document that said otherwise. Lesson learned.Thankfully Amazon streaming services are available to fill the cable provider VOID.

I enjoyed this movie, but it made me a bit uncomfortable. I can't wrap my mind around two gorgeous rich people who have a lot in common feeling the need to find love elsewhere. It is almost as if they are medieval nobles in a forced marriage, which they are not. Valery appeared to want his wife to be happy, which certainly indicates love, maybe he doesn't care if she takes a lover because he doesn't want to be a hypocrite? Maybe Ariele's unlikely love for Brian related to control, she finally had some? Also, I can't dislike any of the characters although they certainly seemed to be making messes of perfectly enchanted lives. Perhaps if Valery had spent more energy in his wife's bed than his mistress', then Ariele would have felt loved? On the other hand, since both parents expose the young children to their adulteries, am I the only one picturing young Marc and Elody with paramours of their own because they may think it's normal? Maybe the good that came of Brian and Ariele's affair was that Valery and Ariele made the effort to be better to one another, hence they went to her favorite museum even years later as a family, as opposed to strictly only appearing at diplomatic functions together? I think Ariele and Brian are incredibly naïve if they think romping between 5 and 7 represents the depth of a lifelong relationship together. Also, am I correct in thinking that Valery may have had serial mistresses while Brian was probably Ariele's only lover? If she was promiscuous, don't you think Valery would have been offended by that behavior? What did Brian do with the check?

Ten stars for this movie. I had seen it at a film festival in 2014. Liked it so much I went to a second film festival a month later to see it again. Then I waited. It never came to the public theaters in our area. I waited the usual time for it to become a DVD. Nothing for one year. Checked with Amazon many times. Finally, in September 2015 it was available. Victor Levin did a magnificent job writing and producing this lovely story of two people who should never have fallen in love, but did. Real love has no boundaries. Victor Levin's choice of words is exceptional. Some are comical; others extremely profound. His decision to have the male lead express his feelings to the audience as the movie progressed provided a sensitive background for this love affair. Both the leading man (Anton Yelchin) and woman (Berenice Marlohe) portrayed their characters perfectly and not always with words, but gestures and facial responses. This allowed you to enjoy their love for each other. Glenn Close and Frank Langella played their comedy lines with straight faces. Loved them. This is a very lighthearted movie, with a big message. However, I think that those who should have put out full distribution of 5 to 7 to the general public did not get the message. They were too preoccupied with violent movies, shoot'em up, bang, bang movies, and films with no depth to the plot. Shame on them.

they like to smoke on fridays.at least they don't block the door, like they do in this country,even at the hospitals, when you have bronchitis. the story is hard to believe, but entertaining and mostly happy. i wonder what will happen with the little children, when they grow up. this is daddy and this is mommie's boyfriend, who she sees from 5pm-7pm .

This film exceeded my expectations. After his untimely and tragic death, I was interested to see Anton Yelchin act in a role outside of the newest Star Trek franchise. Because my wife was a big fan of his portrayal of Chekov, I thought she would enjoy seeing this, too. Although she was more enthusiastic than I was to watch it, I enjoyed it even more than she did. The film moved in directions that I didn't expect, and it was in no way formulaic in nature (one man's opinion). I found it to be both entertaining and touching with a good script and... well, no spoilers about the ending from me. I wouldn't want to rob you of the chance to experience that yourself without knowing what's coming. Enjoy!

This is by far one of my favorite movies. I have quotes all over from this movie. I cannot even tell you how many times I've watched it (or portions of it). I even bought a dress like her's because it flattered her - and me too

I am happy with the movie
