Only You
[DVD]

Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Elena and Jake meet by chance on New Year's Eve, arguing for the same taxi. However, instead of going their separate ways after sharing a taxi, they start a passionate relationship. Directed by Harry Wootliff and starring Laia Costa (Victoria) and Josh O Connor (God's Own Country and The Crown). REVIEW Here's something special, a terrifically engrossing drama about two wholly believable characters, made with the kind of wit, honesty and raw emotional intimacy that pierces right to the heart of their relationship. Vividly rendered, and filled with tangible yearning, it strikes a balance between romantic passion and mundane domesticity, as the skin-prickling attraction of new love is tested by the day-to-day tribulations of real life. - Mark Kermode (5 Stars) --https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/14/only-you-review-harry-wootliff-laia-costa-josh-oconnor-mark-kermode Given the budget, logistics and small cast required, it is perhaps surprising there are relatively few British takes on the US indie romantic drama staple. Only You, the feature debut of TV screenwriter Harry Wootliff, is that rare effort that could go toe-to-toe with its American counterpart, a passionate, moving love story told with nuance and heart. It's a little bit Linklater, a little bit Andrew Haigh (Weekend), but Wootliff's film, helped by her two magnetic leads, Laia Costa and Josh O Connor, creates a spark and an intimacy that feels fresh and real. Only You is less a May-to-September romance, more May-to-July. Refreshingly, Spanish council worker Elena (Costa) is nine years older than English Ph.D student Jake (O Connor). The pair hook up on a Glasgow New Year's Eve through the oldest meet-cute ruse in the book grabbing a cab at the same time but somehow Costa, O Connor and Wootliff make it work. Soon they are back at Costa s homely flat, flirting to Elvis Costello's I Want You, the sex discreetly played out on hands. Their one-night stand turns into a living-together-thing and, surrounded by Elena's friends with kids, they decide to try for a baby. Yet it's here that their bubble begins to burst the couple struggling to conceive - no film has more weeing on sticks - as a lengthy IVF process tests their bond to the limit. - Ian Freer --https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/only-you/
