Afternoon Delight

Story of Rachel (actress Kathryn Hahn) a stay-at-home mom who becomes obsessed with changing the life of a sex worker named McKenna.

Rachel has lost touch with herself and with her husband (Josh Radner) and McKenna becomes her focus, instead of her own life.

She brings McKenna home to be the live-in nanny to her 5-year old son and the ripples extend to her marriage, her group of married friends and to herself.

McKenna's life has been no picnic and the actress Juno Temple, does such an outstanding job of showing her inherent sweetness and the losses that she, herself, has experienced. It also is very matter-of-fact about McKenna's jobs and is much less judgmental about her work than movies usually are.

Jane Lynch is her Therapist (greatly in need of therapy herself) and is wonderful.

Written and directed by Jill Soloway.

I truly enjoyed this movie.

I laughed and I cried. It touched me.

I can tell you the girlfriend did not relate to Rachel as I did (no tears) but we talked about it afterward and it opened a really good dialogue between us..

What more can you ask from a movie?
