Lucy (Dakota Johnson) is a New York City matchmaker who pairs up potential mates based on criteria such as height, age, and, crucially, finances. Her philosophy is challenged by Harry (Pedro Pascal), a wealthy stranger she meets at a wedding, and the surprise return of her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans), a struggling actor.

The familiar beats of the rom com are reinvigorated by Celine Song’s (Past Lives, 2023) mastery of tone, and razor-sharp writing; reframing romantic love as a transaction between business interests, her script sidesteps sentimentality in favour of a grown-up, worldly-wise view of contemporary relationships where fiscal security is at least as desirable as physical attraction.
