The Perfect Find has dropped its first trailer for the book adaptation of the Tia Williams of the same name.
The movie is said to be about a woman trying to reinvent herself. According to Netflix, “After a high-profile firing, Jenna’s (Gabrielle Union) fashion career comeback hits a snag when she falls for a charming, much younger coworker (Keith Powers) — who happens to be her boss’s son. As sparks fly, Jenna must decide if she’ll risk it all on a secret romance.”
Admittedly, age-gap romances aren’t for everyone. But it’s clear to see that Union and Powers have chemistry. And in real life, there are gaps in relationships that stand the test of time. So we’re going to have a tiny bit of faith that Union can sell this story, which some have described as the Black Sex and the City. Considering how long that show ran, even though it’s absolutely problematic and questionable, hopefully, others will give this a chance too.
Last month, Netflix dropped some photos and Union herself told Vanity Fair, “[It] really sparked something inside of me about older women, and how we can oftentimes disappear from society, almost, in terms of people looking at us as like we are past our prime. That we carry no value, that no one sees value in a woman over 28, much less over 35, much less over 40,” Union says. “But baby, I’m thriving.”
