The idea of having you It’s that unexpected movie. Prime Video made an effort to promote it: with the hype strategy (and red carpets and interviews) that is usually assigned to theatrical films. When we found the title with Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine in the catalogue, we were surprised: it was good, no ifs and buts, no feeling of guilt associated with viewing it.
The story is a kind of fan-fic by Harry Styles. A twenty-something singer from a boy band He feels an indescribable spark with a 40-year-old gallery owner who attends a festival where he performs: he is there on a rebound with his teenage daughter. It has chemistry and something to tell in its treatment of characters: the ageism towards women, the obstacles between two lovers when they meet at two different points in their lives and the vile and moralistic pressure that we exert against strangers on social networks.
Hathaway’s charisma is a reminder of why she is a star.

And, for those with problems getting out of the loop or the infatuation posed by the film, here are two television series to watch, especially among those who think that Hathaway and Galitzine even elevate the material with their work.

Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway as Adam and Rebekah Neumann in ‘WeCrashed’.

In The Idea of Having You, the actress from The Devil Wears Prado acts as if she received an Oscar in the performance with so much talent and charisma that she overflows. She had not seen this aura of an innate star since in 2022 she gave us an outstanding miniseries and where she entered into symbiosis with her character: that of Rebekah Neumann, wife of Adam Neumann, founder of WeWork and professional smoke seller of capitalism. .
In eight episodes, Hathaway sells the Neumanns’ love story and also the extreme imbecility of Rebekah, Gwyneth’s real-life cousin, with her banal new age ideology and use of big words to sell the void. What a way to approach the character: from speech, eye movement, the use of costumes in her favor, finding the nuance in the tension between the self that we try to sell to society and the image that we really give. Extraordinary.

Mary and George
Mother wants to prostitute her son with the king of England.

For viewers having trouble getting over Nicholas Galitzine’s latest look in The idea of having youanother proposal with nothing to do with it but that helps put the talent and beauty of the English actor in context: the historical drama Mary & Georgewhich was nominated as the most morbid television premiere of 2024 and, so far, has given us one of the highest quality proposals so far this year.
Screenwriter DC Moore (Killing Eve)which is based on the book The King’s Assassin by Benjamin Woolleytells the story of how Mary de Villiers (Julianne Moore), of humble origins and located in the lower aristocracy, plans how to ascend socially: through the beauty of her son George, who can serve as bait to hunt King James of England, obsessed with men.
Nicholas Galitzine represents beauty.
SKY UK
From here, he writes an intelligent and provocative historical drama about Machiavellian beings who puts sex on the table as a bargaining chip to access power and to what extent the system forces those who already have to be on guard (and with a suspicious attitude). They hold all the privileges, at least in England at the beginning of the 17th century, where a wrong move could lead to the subject being hanged.
What a merit that of Galitzine, who plays a man whose only virtue is his beauty, selling his physical attributes to the viewer, understanding how to convey the security that only those who are comfortable in their own body have, but also the insecurity of being aware of the limitations.
