Following the leads of Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathway, Dern is the latest Oscar-winner to romance a younger man in a streaming movie. How does the Netflix flick compare?

In a year where we're seeing younger men woo older women in steamy romances like "The Idea of You" and "Babygirl," it feels genuinely refreshing that writer-director Susannah Grant's "Lonely Planet" doesn't seek to capture the problems that arise when an older woman falls for a man almost half her age.

Until it comes true for us all, we’ll have to live vicariously through Laura Dern in the new film Lonely Planet (Netflix, October 11). Dern plays novelist Katherine, who is invited to a retreat at a gorgeous estate in the Atlas Mountains.
