anyone but you (english) Review
In the 2010s, mid-budget Hollywood films became increasingly rare, and romantic comedies appeared to be fading away. However, in 2018, Claire Scanlon and Katie Silberman's "Set It Up" breathed new life into the genre with its summer success starring Glen Powell and Zoey Deutch. Fast forward five years, and the fate of rom-coms remains uncertain. Yet, another film featuring the charismatic Powell has emerged as a potential game-changer. "Anyone But You," directed by Will Gluck and co-written by Ilana Wolpert, brings back the charm, wit, and romantic allure that has been missing from recent rom-coms. Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," Powell stars as Ben, a finance professional concealing emotional scars behind a facade of cynicism, who crosses paths with Bea (played by Sydney Sweeney), a law student questioning her career path. Their immediate connection leads to a day and night of intimate conversation and shared vulnerability. However, Bea's sudden departure the next morning leaves both longing for more. Their paths cross again months later, leading to a series of events orchestrated by a wedding party to bring them together. Despite initial misunderstandings and mishaps, true love ultimately prevails. "Anyone But You" refreshingly blends classic storytelling with contemporary characters and themes, portraying Ben and Bea as individuals grappling with personal barriers to communication and emotional intimacy. Powell and Sweeney deliver captivating performances, their chemistry palpable in every scene. Director Will Gluck skillfully balances comedic and romantic moments, subverting cliches while delivering heartfelt sincerity. The film's visual style, including clever use of close-ups and physical comedy, adds depth to its narrative. Amidst the laughter and romance, "Anyone But You" offers a nuanced exploration of love, highlighting the importance of genuine connection and selfless support.
