It’s a universally acknowledged truth that every true rom-com fan must be in need of a Laura Dern-gets-her-groove-back vehicle, and that’s exactly what Netflix has delivered to us. Lonely planeta new movie from Erin Brockovich screenwriter Susannah Grant stars Dern as a novelist who goes to Morocco for a writers’ retreat and meets a handsome young man named Liam Hemsworth (or whatever his name is in the movie; I’m going to call him Liam Hemsworth). May-December romance fans, ahoy! Let’s dive in, shall we?

1. When a movie starts with that little “ding” sound you hear on an airplane, you know is the main character go places.
2. Literal.
3. We are approaching Marrakech, Morocco!
4. A refreshing lack of the Global South yellow filter (so far).
5. Laura Dern! Every time I see her I hear her shout “ISAIDTHANKYOOOOOOOU”. Big little lies in my head.
6. Sheep! On the road! Not as exciting as a Laura Dern sighting, but still pretty cool.
7. Oh no, Laura Dern’s luggage is lost.
8. Don’t go to dinner on the first night of a press trip because you’re tired terribly recognizable, I must say.
9. Just kidding! Please still invite me on press trips, media powers!
10. Hey, it’s Liam Hemsworth! With a girlfriend! Who isn’t Laura Dern!
11. The shirt he’s wearing looks dangerously similar to a henley, although upon closer inspection I think it’s just a polo.
12. Ooh, it sounds like Laura Dern is going through a bad divorce. Or perhaps one has already been closed? Anyway, a man is mad at her.
13. Let’s have our Eat pray love up, girlfriend!
14. Actually, we might want to skip “praying.”
15. Diana Silvers as the love interest for everyone but Kaitlyn Dever upsets me.
16. I do like her thick highlights, I must say.
17. Wait, is Liam Hemsworth also a writer? Or is he just strangely supportive of his girlfriend?
18. A man who turns down an Ambien because he has a phone call scheduled? No fun! Dump him!
19. No idea what this call is about, but I assume it’s important.
20. Ooh, Liam and Laura meet!
21. Wow, even their names sound good together.
22. An annoying reporter on a press trip? That is me!
23. “I see your face a lot in bed,” followed by the girlfriend’s revelation? Come on, Liam!
24. This reminds me SATCSam Jones complains about guys who are obsessed with letting you know right away that they have a girlfriend. We get it, dude!
25. My God, this village is picturesque.
26. Laura Dern was born to quote Flaubert casually in a film.
27. Liam has four sisters, so we know he’s a good guy.
28. Sorry, my brand new puppy was freaking out for the past four minutes, so I missed the context behind Laura and Liam’s meet-cute, but things seem to be moving along quickly.
29. Ah, Liam’s girlfriend Diana Silvers is a big fan of Laura’s novels. Interesting.
30. Laura, don’t travel anywhere (especially abroad) if you can’t handle a little bit of shouting in the background!
31. Maybe I’m just smug because I’ve trained myself to write amid the noise Real Housewives of Salt Lake Cityto be honest.
32. Ah, cool, Liam’s job is… coal mining somehow.
33. “Clean coal”, LOL.
34. Writer girlinas, I beg you: don’t take your extraction bro boyfriend on a retreat because he shall be properly roasted by all socialists.
35. Oh man, Laura lost one farm at her divorce?
36. Laura published her first book at university? Zadie Smith vibes!
37. Laura eviscerating Liam because he was clearly a former high school jock brother is so cathartic and exciting to me.
38. I know Liam said, “How come you can’t finish your book at home?” to Laura, but as someone who spends $40 every other weekday to “work” at my local lesbian cafe, I take it as a personal attack.
39. Ooh, dramatic confession time almost averted!
40. In the most appropriate, respectful way possible, may I say: Diana Silvers looks really good in a tank top.
41. This also applies to Liam Hemsworth.
42. “Come see me when you’re in a better mood” is actually a very mature and devastating statement.
43. Liam angrily rides a motorcycle through the streets of Marrakech, just like you do.
44. That’s the way, dude! Watch local sports! Drink a local beer! Hug local boys! Forget girls!
45. If you’re in Morocco and (as Laura is doing now) reject anything served from a tagine, you’re just an idiot.
46. I don’t care if you’re full! Eat a bite of that harira!
47. I now want to lie on a float in a Moroccan swimming pool.
48. I’ve never been to a writers’ retreat; is this how they are?
49. Liam Hemsworth’s facial hair is perfectly calibrated in this film, I must say.
50. Wow, really, Liam? Are your natural resource extraction bosses not nice?
51. Oh, he’s an eco-antagonist with a heart of gold who’s actually on the side of the miner in West Virginia. Cool :/
52. Laura is divorced from a sculptor? So Meryl coded.
53. This guy is really a dick to his girlfriend Diana Silvers, who is just trying to have fun on her trip.
54. “You always find a way to ruin the things I’m excited about” is a rude way to think about your partner! Do better, cishet men.
55. Good for Diana for breaking up with her!
56. Laura’s basically just listening to their entire breakup through her wall, right?
57. Bro, you’re going to ‘stay away from her’, but don’t just go home so she can Actually enjoy the retreat? I hate this man! Go fracking something!
58. Ooh la la, scandalous shoulder kiss scene between Laura and Liam.
59. “I could fall for a kid like you”?????? Damn.
60. Okay, Liam didn’t like that.
61. Hannah Horvath’s boyfriend called her “Boy,” and you didn’t hear her complain about it, man! Although maybe she should have?
62. Liam leaves to ‘do some exploring’. Uhm.
63. He invites Laura!
64. Parasailing assembly!
65. Oh, those were other people parasailing. Our lovers hold hands on the beach.
66. Sex scene!
67. A pretty good one too, if I may be so bold.
68. Feed each other olives? Incredible.
69. “You know I like an olive.” Does he already know this about her?
70. I really don’t care what happens with this guy’s coal deal.
71. Laura goes home 🙁
72. Only 🙁 🙁
73. Solo Liam surfside shot 🙁 🙁 🙁
74. God help me, I love a last minute revival.
75. I wish Laura Dern’s last name, Katherine Loewe, was pronounced “lo-WAY-vey.”
