A SPELL ON YOU
Better than Bridget Jones Diaries
A SPELL ON YOU follows the story of a young woman trying desperately to manifest love, navigating the pitfalls of growing-up and hoping to find HIM along the way.
This masterful film sits somewhere between Downton Abbey and Bridget Jones Diary.
Becky has recently finished university and is working a dead-end office job. Why can't she find the man of her dreams> Recognizing her match proves tricky when she in't altogether sure who she is. The quest seems as mystifying as pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
This big-hearted romantic comedy gives us a peek into the millennial generation's search for love. They don't walk are in are along the Seine in perfectly cut trench coats. They don't hold tight to a handsome man on the back of a Vespa. They drink far too much, dance ironically in circles, and snog their friends.
Growing up is not for the faint of heart.
'A SPELL ON YOU' is a film for the funny, ugly, and most importantly the magical in us all.
-Such a relatable film for so many people right now.
BBC, Radio One
-One of the most deceptively important British movies for a long time.
