Enough Said (Hulu). Glad to see this hit streaming, finally. Saw it about 8 years ago and enjoyed it. It's a movie aimed at mature folks. The leads (Julia Louis-Dreyfus & James Gandolfini in his penultimate role) are both divorced parents, each with one kid, and each kid is getting ready to go away to college. Both parents are apprehensive about becoming empty nesters. They meet at a party and nothing clicks at first. The second date goes better. But the Dreyfus character has a secret in which she learns about all the negatives of Gandolfini's character through one of her clients. Things unravel and get messy.
It's essentially a romcom, but no LOLs, just gentle humor regarding life's foibles and how the characters - mostly Dreyfus - deal with their issues. It's one of those small movies few people saw on its first go-round, but the film and cast were nominated for a bunch of film critics awards. Makes you wonder what else Gandolfini could've done as his character here is very different from anything else he's done.
