Anne Hathaway Is Too Hot for The Idea of You

"The Idea of You," starring Anne Hathaway as Solène Marchand, explores a middle-aged woman’s romantic entanglement with a younger pop star at Coachella, challenging societal perceptions of women’s desirability as they age. However, Hathaway's casting is seen as a mismatch, as her glamorous real-life image conflicts with her character's supposed ordinary, overlooked persona.

The film and its source material by Robinne Lee aim to portray a woman reclaiming her sexuality and identity against societal norms. Yet, Hathaway’s undeniable beauty and celebrity status overshadow the believability of her character's struggles, making it hard to relate her to the everyday challenges faced by the character she plays. Critics suggest her appearance is too polished and youthful, detracting from the film’s message about age and attractiveness.
