Cut to her traveling to New York City to find more puzzles, and connecting with champion puzzler Robert (Irfan Khan), who is recovering from the departure of his former partner/wife. Puzzled? Well, if you guessed that they head off together to a puzzle tournament in Atlantic City, then you’re quite talented as well! How do all the pieces fit together at the end?

David SimsJul 12, 2022panders to a very specific demographic - nerdy women who want to hear irrfan sensually say "youre the best puzzler i've ever met" - and that demographic is me

how I wish I could leave my life behind to do puzzles with Irrfan Khan in a lovely New York townhouse
VivianJul 16, 2018Likes: Oren Moverman Kelly Macdonald Irrfan Khan Dislikes: Puzzles Watching people do puzzles The ending So this movie was okay. I really like Kelly Macdonald, but the story and the pacing were really slow. Apparently, this movie is a remake of another film. The ending…
Allison M. 🌱Aug 23, 2018I am a fan of small intimate films that just allow you to get to know the characters and especially ones with strong acting. Kelly Macdonald has long been a favorite, and this film rises and falls on whether you like her performance--which I did. It's a simple plot, but in…

Surprisingly sweet and far less cookie-cutter than I thought it would be. All the senior citizens in the audience around me applauded when it ended. I contributed a few golf claps. From the trailer, I thought this looked really plain, but the conservativeness and closed…

Had such high expectations from this movie, but the ending was really disappointing.. Nevertheless, amazing acting by Irrfan Khan, Kelly McDonald, husband, and kids - definitely worth a watch if you are a Khan or McDonald fan. Just gloomy throughout 😑

It’s a testament to Macdonald’s performance (and later, to Khan’s charm) that we share her passion for puzzling.
