Rafe Spall keeps things engaging and the actors make this otherwise cliched and dull romcom. Josh Lawson does not have enough material or directorial nuance to keep things afloat, he does not give enough time to setup the story before and after the main plot, in order to keep the mood light (but never funny) he just keeps on throwing scenarios and using time as a trope, hoping somethign will stick. I liked the idea of the couple splitting but its not handled well and at times it feels more of an obsession than actual love. Zahra Newman was also great in here and I hope she gets discovered soon by big studios she has that combination of good looks and great acting/presence. Ronny Chieng's scenes felt forced and add nothing to the story.
