Natalie Portman shines as the female lead of Netflix’s much-anticipated romantic comedy “Good Sex.” She’s joined by an incredible ensemble, including stars Meg Ryan, Rashida Jones, Mark Ruffalo, Tramell Tillman and rising music star Role Model. Written and created by Lena Dunham, this is a candid and much needed portrayal of the difficulties surrounding modern dating and relationships. It stars Portman as Ally, an almost-40 woman trying to make sense of the New York dating scene.
In Good Sex, Ally struggles with the pressures and stigma of re-entering the dating scene. As she reluctantly dips her toe back into the realm of romance, she encounters two very different men: one in his 20s and another in his 50s. As the film follows Ally’s journey, it takes us through the thought process that there is no one formula for great sex.

Role Model, who has gained significant attention for his music video “Sally,” which boasts over 6 million views on YouTube since its release in February, will perform at Madison Square Garden. Just this past month, he was named one of four openers for pop sensation Gracie Abrams while she tours the U.S., deepening his showbiz foothold.
Portman makes a strong dramatic counterpart to mature performances from venerable actors Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo. This rich, creative interplay makes for an exciting, not-to-be-missed experience for attendees. Rashida Jones and Tramell Tillman round out the cast, promising an engaging narrative that resonates with viewers of all ages.
Lena Dunham’s involvement as a producer signals a commitment to exploring themes of love and intimacy with authenticity and humor. Capturing the realities of today’s relationships, Good Sex also offers a portal into the lives of women experiencing the next phase of their 40s in an increasingly tech-heavy city.
