The adventures of a young English woman reassessing her life after a 15yo relationship treading water, all wrapped in a quirky, crazy plot, driven by ridiculous coincidence.
The writing is clever, the direction inspired and the acting superb – the chemistry between Rose Byrne, Chris O’Dowd and Ethan Hawke nothing short of sublime.
This is a journey through the meaning of life in a modern world, loaded with lessons, the warmth and regret, with more than a dash of hero-worship; a poignant portrait and often downright laugh-out-loud.
