A sharp look at modern romance
This disc sits on your shelf not just as entertainment, but as a cultural artefact. It captures a specific moment in the conversation about gender, identity and the search for genuine connection in a complex world.
The film follows Mandy and Pete as they navigate their respective crises. It suits viewers who appreciate wit over sentimentality and those interested in a candid, personal take on contemporary relationships.
NARRATIVE
Two people searching for belonging
Mandy is a modern woman navigating the female revolution while raising her son and processing her parents' separation. She writes about a kind of love she believes no longer exists. Her path crosses with Pete, a man seeking his own sense of worth and a restored male identity. Their meeting sparks a question: is true love as rare as they both suspect, or are they simply meant to be together?
TONE
Slightly unhinged and very funny
This is not a traditional romantic comedy. It is described as unique and slightly unhinged, offering a fascinatingly personal comment on the price of modern feminism. The humour is sharp, grounded in the characters' internal struggles rather than external gags. It invites the audience to laugh at the absurdity of modern dating while feeling the weight of the characters' emotional journeys.
