You can watch Venus (2006) for free on Hoopla.

Maurice is an aging veteran actor who becomes taken with Jessie, the grandniece of his closest friend. When Maurice tries to soften the petulant and provincial young girl with the benefit of his wisdom and London culture, their give-and-take surprises both Maurice and Jessie as they discover what they don't know about themselves.

Forget the typical romantic comedy tropes to find a sharp, unsentimental collision between a fading theatrical legend and a prickly seaside teenager. This unlikely pairing transforms a clash of generations into a surprisingly tender study of loneliness and unexpected grace.
