Prime



Lust, or love? I suppose the ending of this flick implies afterall, the latter has more weight in director Ben Younger's mind.

The last paragraph of the review on Boston.com sums it up very nicely -
"The great tensions in ''Prime" are not romantic but lifestyle-driven. The keepin'-it-realism of Lisa's parental and religious wishes is incompatible with David's open-minded, post-collegiate drift, which is at odds with Rafi's very adulthood. Lisa, Rafi, David, and even nasty little Morris have to ask whether how we live determines who we love and who loves us. Put that way, Younger isn't paging Woody Allen. He's channeling Carrie Bradshaw."
