de Volkskrant: “..a fascinating deconstruction of the ideal of feasibility of dating and love.”
Lucy ( Dakota Johnson ) is a young, ambitious matchmaker from New York. She successfully matches all sorts of rich, lonely types. Her own love life is not going so well. Her ex sticks around, but offers no security. And then there is the filthy rich charmer Harry ( Pedro Pascal ), who does bring in money, luxury vacations and comfort. Lucy gets caught up in a feeling of triangulation, in which all her professional knowledge, dating app data and feasibility thinking offer little support. How do you determine what true love is?
After her great debut film Past Lives (2023), director Céline Song once again explores the complex feeling called love.
