In this fascinating comedy, which was released in theaters on May 18th, four successful older women in a book club read the infamous book Fifty Shades of Grey — and it gives them a whole new perception: It’s time to change it up and seek out different kinds of pleasures. These four women are in different situations — one widowed, one playing the game with no strings attached, one working through a floppy 35-year marriage, and the other working through a 10-year old divorce! This lovely comedy starring Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen, displays the journey to finding what was lost in love and sexuality, and showing us that you’re never too old to get it back.
