New Hampshire Film Festival 2025 Feature
In this smart, New York-set romantic comedy, an anxious law school dropout stumbles into a job babysitting his psychiatrist’s three granddaughters and falls for the girls’ mother (Amanda Peet), an actress in a rocky marriage.
A comedy that doesn’t just give Amanda Peet a comeback role but might feature her best screen work to date. -Rogerebert.com
It isn’t hyperbole to say that Amanda Peet gives the performance of a lifetime in “Fantasy Life.” -Variety
The casting here is perfection. Peet, out of films in the past few years, is thankfully back in style with a role she makes her own, giving this drifting soul real gravitas and poignancy. -Deadline
With Amanda Peet in a remarkable star turn, it marks a promising debut for writer-director Matthew Shear. -The Hollywood Reporter
Why I’m pulling for Shear in the future: He drew out the finest performance of Peet’s career. Equally adept at comedy and drama, Peet is one of the most underrated performers of her generation. Her range here is off the charts. Epoch Times
