In this adaptation of Jasln Robert Brown's hit off-Broadway musical, "The Last Five Years" deconstructs a love affair and a marriage taking place over a five year period. Jamie, a young, talented up-and-coming Jewish novelist falls in love with Cathy, a "Shiksa Goddess" and struggling actress. The film, told almost entirely through song and a beautiful pop music score, portrays an honest, heartbreaking, often funny, exploration of love and its consequences on individual identity.
