- Small visual details establish Jane’s loneliness without exposition.
- Streep’s beauty, flattering lighting and relaxed happy performance; Meyers writes successful, easygoing women rather than rigid rom-com stereotypes.
- The hostile glamorous second wife and tiger tattoo work comically; FitzGerald is more recognizable after Succession but has little characterization here.
- Streep still looking great without much apparent surgery is praised; her anti-surgery reputation is explicitly uncertain.
