Our take
Flashbacks to the heat of an affair—all wry teasing and slow-dancing in the kitchen—bring Joan Micklin Silver’s piquant cult rom-com out of the cold and into the warm. Do-or-die insistent, John Heard’s amour fou has a decidedly late-1970s flavor: dashed hope and the rawness of a Janis Joplin record.
