ONLY YOU (2018)

Cast

Plot

Elena and Jake meet by chance on New Years Eve, arguing for the same taxi. However, instead of going their separate ways after sharing a taxi ,they start a passionate relationship. 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.
