I want to see more movies like this, by more women, with more women. That would be delightful.

As a first film, Afternoon Delight is worth exploring -- perhaps mostly to see what film Soloway does next.

Relaxed, intuitive performances from the top-notch ensemble cast pay dividends, with Hahn commandingly stressy in the central role, and Michaela Watkins impressively abrasive as neighbourhood organiser-in-chief.

It is worth seeing almost solely for Kathryn Hahn's conflicted yet luminous performance.
