In quirky drama "She Came To Me" opera composer Peter Dinklage has writer's block, so to break his patterns, shrink wife Anne Hathaway sends him out walking the streets of their native New York - where he meets tugboat captain Marisa Tomei (always likeable), a sex / romance addict who indeed does break his block. As that off-centre plot-line unfolds, so too does one on Hathaway's son Evan Ellison, his gf Harlow Jane, and her folks Brian d'Arcy James (good) & Joanna Kulig (Hathaway's cleaner). Quite what style & tone writer / director Rebecca Miller was aiming for is unclear, but the result is engaging enough, if slightly bemusing. It's certainly 'different', that is for sure.
