‘Lonely Planet’ Review: Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth Rock the Kasbah in Netflix’s Age Gap Romance
In 'Lonely Planet,' Laura Dern is an author who romances Liam Hemsworth at a writer’s retreat in Morocco.
He thinks he’s got life figured out, managing a high-stakes job in private equity and playing dutiful boyfriend to invited author Lily (Diana Silvers), an overnight sensation who’s stressed by the mounting pressures of writing her follow-up books. Nobody is the stereotypical Bad Guy in Owen and Lily’s split per se, although her arrogance, snide hypocrisy and careless emotional infidelity with fellow writer Rafih (Younès Boucif) is on display far more frequently than his workaholic distractions. Ugo and the irascible elderly Nobel Prize-winning Ada (Shosha Goren) are briefly given camera time (the latter of whom features in one of the film’s fleeting funny jokes), but they too suffer from a staggering lack of development.
