Director:  Jesse Peretz

Duncan is obsessed with the long lost rocker, Tucker Crowe, who is not really lost – he just hasn’t recording anything in many years and is living a quiet life with his ex-wife and son somewhere in a small town in the U.S.  Annie, Duncan’s girlfriend, happens to meet Tucker and starts up a friendship unbeknownst to Duncan.  Tucker has a storied past and is trying to make the best of his life while Annie is a little bored with her life as well.  Ethan Hawke and Rose Byrne are fun to watch in this romantic comedy and the story is very entertaining.  Metacritic gives it a 67 while 81% of approved critics at Rotten Tomatoes gave it a positive review.  Audience scores are higher as they should be as the critical reviews seem underrated.  This movie is very well made and the acting is superb.  Ethan Hawke has a nice little run going lately with this movie as well as First Reformed (also 2018), which was excellent.
