Hope Springs

ComedyDramaRomance100 min

After 30 years of marriage, Kay wants more than the careful routines she and Arnold have settled into, so she persuades her skeptical husband to travel to Great Hope Springs for an intensive week of couples counseling. Meryl Streep is Kay, restless and determined; Tommy Lee Jones’s Arnold meets the trip with discomfort, resistance, and a preference for keeping things exactly as they are. In the therapist’s office, Steve Carell is the marriage specialist trying to push them past decades of habit, distance, and unspoken resentment as the two are asked to talk plainly about what’s left of their relationship.
