Newness is a 2017 American romantic drama film directed by Drake Doremus from a screenplay by Ben York Jones.

It stars Nicholas Hoult, Laia Costa, Courtney Eaton, Danny Huston and Esther Perel.

Living in Los Angeles, Martin is a divorced pharmacist while Gabriella is a physical therapy assistant from Spain.

At home, Gabriella confronts Martin for not mentioning his mother's condition or the girl in his childhood photos.

The next morning, Gabriella admits she climaxed during sex with Larry, which disturbs Martin as her other dates have never done so.

Gabriella discovers Martin's private messages to his ex-wife and he reveals he found the hidden necklace from Larry.

Larry reveals that in two weeks, he will be leaving on a 2-year business trip around Europe, inviting Gabriella to join him, so she can visit her family.

At a party hosted by Larry, Gabriella demands him to uninvite Blake to which he refuses and calls her immature.

"[9] Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote: "The trouble with Newness — and the reason it's shot in such a clinical vérité fashion — is that it’s a thesis movie, heady and ambitious yet overly thought out.
