Meagan Jordan

Rolling Stone

Rye Lane is about a day that gets continuously better, if not funnier and more loving... What makes the film relatable is how achingly human it all is.

The able cast can’t quite transcend the script’s clichés.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Rye Lane asks you to fall in love with Dom and Yas, but failing that, it will have you hopelessly smitten with its South London setting and with that feeling of having the day open and nothing to do but wander and see what may happen.

The Review Geek

Miller’s unique directorial style captures the character of South London in a refreshingly funny manner, with ever a mind to the authenticity of people and place.

Rye Lane is a film you will fall in love with immediately. A fun, hilarious and charming British movie all about resolving the past and finding the best person at the worst time.

Rather it plays along with its premise, pointing out the contradictions and hardships that come with romance, while simultaneously building towards a potentially romantic outcome.

So much fun! Don't examine it too closely, just enjoy it. After all, it's only 82 minutes long!

Cute and quirky. Before Sunset walking concept but very different execution. Based on reviews I thought I’d love it more, but still worth a watch.

Imperfect, but endearing. 'Rye Lane' certainly ends up having some charm to it and is fairly amusing in parts as well. I wouldn't say it's anything above good, the acting and dialogue particularly feel iffy, but all in all it does the job and is competently made. David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah are likeable and work as a two onscreen. All things considered, it's a worthy watch. There are a couple of good cameos scattered in there too.

I watched it yesterday with my friends and we loved it! The way the shots are filmed is very unique, and the colours are beautiful. There's always a lot of things happening at the same time, either at the foreground or in the background while the main characters are talking, and it's orchestrated in a very beautiful way! The story is adorable and predictable, and that's what we were expecting from a romantic comedy! In short, a feel good movie! I'll definitely watch it again!

This is a wonderfully written movie. The chemistry between Jonsson and Oparah is great. Definitely a must-see. Best comedy love story I've seen in more than a decade.
