I'm not one to bat away an attempt to revive a genre that was once a stalwart of the British film industry, but ultimately, the stakes of their relationship are too low to create any real dramatic fizz.

We can guess exactly how the story will unfold but that doesn't lessen the humour or the gentle pathos.

Too many scenes are excruciatingly ill-conceived and the couple's chemistry is shaky, yet the outcome is never in doubt.

3/5

At the heart of this film by Emily Harris and Ate de Jong is a credible, intimate portrait of two people deeply in love but unsure where they're going.

This would-be modern Romeo-and-Juliet tale is little more than a pile-on of class stereotypes, contrived dialogue, and one whopper of a coincidence.

Classic rom com. I liked it. Wasn’t sure if I rooted for the couple or not but i was sorta glad they stayed together.
