Expected in Britain for an award, ailing novelist Alice Hughes (Meryl Streep) opted to come over on the Queen Mary 2. Her make-good invite along to estranged college friends Roberta (Candice Bergen) and Susan (Dianne Wiest) would have surprising repercussions-while her nephew Tyler (Lucas Hedges) would mistake the determined but covert efforts of agent Karen (Gemma Chan) for intel on Alice's work-in-progress for romantic interest, in Steven Soderbergh's clever, largely improvised dramedy. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
