Sally Field Stars in Age-Gap Romance Hello, My Name is Doris

A woman of 60-ish falls for an art director about half her age and makes persistent, comedic attempts to entice him. Thatโ€™s the basic gist of Hello, My Name is Doris, the acclaimed comedy drama that has just hit the iTunes Store and brings a particularly eye-opening performance out of lead star Sally Field.

Field might now be 69, but her awesome comedic skills havenโ€™t diminished in the 20 years since she last took a lead role in a movie. And thatโ€™s despite her now exhibiting them on the modest stage of a low-budget indie. Critic Susan Wloszczyna has remarked that if the film โ€œis somewhat shakier in its plotting than Field is with her choices onscreen, it matters little considering that basically she is the movie.โ€

Wloszczyna is far from the only critic that has lauded the movie and Fieldโ€™s performance in particular. In fact, Hello, My Name is Doris has attained a rating of 83% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes โ€“ and we also give it a spot in the new issue of AppleMagazine, which can be yours when you subscribe through our free app. The movie itself is available for download now from the iTunes Store.
