As Gabrielle Union puts it, she has not come across a film about an older woman dating a younger man in a long time. The Perfect Find, however, revolves around the romantic relationship of a woman past her forties and a much younger man. “What do women of a certain age dream of for ourselves without being considered ridiculous or past our prime? That one stung… Juts to show that we don’t disappear, that we are not magically invisible when we hit 40. That we are sexual being and we have options,” said Gabrielle Union.
