It's wild this is a directorial debut. The cinematography is stunning, the vibrancy pops off the screen, the pace and tone are effortless, and I cannot remember watching a more likeable leading pair. And what a tribute to London!! Narratively it may be akin to a Before Sunrise-esque "formula", but creatively it still blows the genre wide open. There are also many laugh out loud moments, and a script where two humans actually TALK and share things with each other (as opposed to the frequent wordless exchanges and long looks we as an audience are frequently forced to endure, as if anyone interacts this way). If you like movies, you will like this movie.
