Critics Sentiment
Rafi attends Friday night dinner with David's family
David gets drunk and sleeps with Rafi's friend Sue
The film drops significantly from the praised Shabbat dinner scene to David's betrayal with Sue, a swing of 3.6 points that represents the relationship's major crisis.
Prime starts strong with charming chemistry between its leads and praised therapy sessions featuring Streep's comedic performance. The film struggles in its middle act with pacing issues and inconsistent tone, but recovers with a mature, realistic ending that subverts romantic comedy expectations. Reviewers appreciated the authentic portrayal of relationships while noting the film's uneven execution of its themes.
