The Best You Can

In a brisk New York rom com, a tightly organized professor's wife faces a shifting marriage when time seems to loosen its grip. Cynthia Rand, a stylish but cautious New Yorker, has spent years balancing careers, routines, and the quiet ache of living with a partner two and a half decades her senior. Her world tilts as her husband ages in ways that alter conversation and daily life. Then Stan Olszewski arrives, a sharp witted security guard who knows how to press the buttons without pulling punches. The encounter sparks a messy yet funny and tender dynamic, and it becomes clear that love can surprise you when you least expect it. The Bacon Sedgwick reunion follows twenty years apart today.
