Prepare to be charmed by this breezy color-blind
romance that will move you with
its sweet simplicity and the kind of intimate,
honest filmmaking that we see far too little of
today. Looking to escape the numbing constraints
of a coddled Beverly Hills life, Sophie
moves to a rental in hip Echo Park. When she
responds to a used couch ad, she meet-cutes
with Alex, and sparks fly during a conversation
about Prince rarities on vinyl. With Alex’s
impending move overseas a mere fortnight
away, the two embark on a “no-risk” causal
romance, but they soon realize that, when
it comes to matters of the heart, there’s no
such thing as risk-free. Mamie Gummer (“The
Good Wife”) and Tony Okungbowa play the
nuances of falling in love to poignant perfection
in this lovely and wistful exploration
of the heart, which uniquely puts a woman’s
self-fulfillment at the forefront of the story.
