Strangers Olivia and Amir both arrive coincidentally at their friend Teddy's to collect money he owes them. Each desperate for cash, they follow Teddy's orders to visit an elusive Harlem figure, Uptown Mike, to get the cash. Waiting for Mike to arrive home, Olivia and Amir are stuck on a journey together through NYC: on the subway, eating lunch, walking through Central Park, all while bonding over disagreements about sex, dating, religion, and death. They finally reveal why they both need money, though one of them is not completely truthful.

I am in love with Or Something, a film for the moment that, no matter where one is or how they are feeling, will take them on an emotional, rugged journey where we can all hopefully come out more empathetic and alive.

Rated: 8/10

Or Something‘s strength is in how well-written [its] conversations are, and how authentically they’re carried by the performances of Neely and Rahma.

Or Something is definitely a film created post-pandemic by two millennial influencers who need to talk about the cultural landscape in regards to heterosexual relationships and its dynamics to the world.

Next Best Picture

Comedy partners since 2021, Rahma and Neely are attuned to each other's rhythms, both as writers and performers, and the ease they have working with each other (even when their characters are in conflict) creates a chemistry that you can't buy.

Rated: 6/10

NYC Movie Guru

A sweet and tender drama that doesn't try to be anything more than a gently engrossing and authentic slice-of-life

Great depiction of iconic NYC places that make it feel like the city is a character of the movie as well. Beautiful performances by actors, interesting mix of some comedy and drama, and an overall captivating plot!
