In the late 2010s, while carving out her path as a playwright in New York, Celine Song found herself with a somewhat peculiar side hustle. A struggling artist in need of a day job, she supported herself by working as a matchmaker. The revealing experience laid bare the contradictions of modern love and dating, serving as the inspiration for her newest film. Following her emotional and Oscar-nominated directorial debut Past Lives, Song returns to the big screen with her sophomore feature film starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.
Lucy (Johnson), is successful at her matchmaking job but not so prosperous when it comes to her own love life. She's torn between the perfect suitor, the wealthy and kind finance bachelor Harry (Pascal), and her imperfect ex-boyfriend John (Evans), a struggling actor still finding his way.
