Jamie Wellerstein is a young, talented up and coming Jewish novelist who falls in love with Cathy Hiatt, a Shiksa Goddess struggling actress. She removes her wedding rings, as well as her wristwatch and bracelet. Theater kids and Broadway buffs are going to toss their cookies over the movie adaptation of The Last Five Years.

"[19] Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score, calculated an average score of 60 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Jamie is over and Jamie is gone.

Jamie and Cathy's timelines converge as they walk to a gazebo in Central Park, where Jamie proposes. And, yes, this is mostly one warbled number after another, with minimal dialogue—sort of like “Les Miserables,” but with less of a need to grab for a hanky.

Cathy's songs begin after they have separated and move backwards in time to the beginning of their courtship, while Jamie's songs start when they have first met and proceeds through their crumbling marriage.

Ariana Grande Joins Jason Robert Brown for ‘Last Five Years’ Cover, 22 April 2020 Rolling Stone Jamie, now a bestselling author, struggles to resist an increasing number of advances from other women, though he expresses his desire to remain faithful to Cathy.

She expresses her dissatisfaction with suburban life, as well as with her past failed relationships.

There are glimpses of what Kendrick would be like as a twirling Maria in “The Sound of Music” or Anita in a brunette bubble-cut wig in “West Side Story.” And you know what? [5], The Last Five Years received mixed to positive reviews from critics. I would pay to see her in a dinner theater production of either, entree or no entree.

Still, as a date-night viewing option for this weekend, this nearly all-sung autopsy of a failed marriage would pretty much qualify as a Valentine’s Day massacre. Principal photography began on June 17, 2013 in New York City. Back in 2014, Jamie writes a farewell letter to Cathy, claiming he tried all he could to save their marriage. He concluded, "It’s a film to bring tears to the eyes of a cynic – in fact, a cynic might relish it more than anyone, since it’s the counterpointing of exuberance with unashamed bleakness that makes The Last Five Years so rich. Jamie promises not to lie to Alise and tells her, "I could be in love with someone like you," just as he did to Cathy. Last 5 Years” is a little too close to being a miss itself to pull it off.

She attends a book reading for Jamie's novel "Light out of Darkness," where she realizes she is not content to put Jamie's career before her own.

While Cathy’s story begins at the dissolution of the twosome’s union, Jamie’s account starts with the heady initial rush of instant attraction.

The Last 5 Years by Tony award winning composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown is a musical deconstruction of a love affair and a marriage taking place over a five year period.

A struggling actress and her novelist lover each illustrate the struggle and deconstruction of their love affair.

When Jamie is singing to a grumpy Cathy after a long day at the bar, the pink dress on the mannequin goes from correctly seem to falling off the mannequin to half on the mannequin. Sherie Rene Scott, who originated the role of Cathy in the Off-Broadway production, also appears in one of the audition scenes with her husband Kurt Deutsch. She chooses to "follow in his stride" and put herself and her dreams second to his new success. Rolling Stone   |
