Almost You

About This Movie

Almost You (1985) is this interesting blend of comedy, drama, and romance that captures the complexities of relationships in a very human way. The film, directed by Adam Brooks, delves into feelings of entrapment and desire through the characters of Alex and Erica Boyer. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for those quieter moments to breathe, especially after Erica's accident. The introduction of Lisa, the private nurse, adds a layer of tension and complicates their dynamic without overplaying it. Performances are solid, with a genuine chemistry that feels both relatable and real. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain charm in its exploration of love, fidelity, and self-discovery that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
