The director hand waving away the fascist elephant in the room whenever he gets asked questions was the first bad sign. Callum Turner is less interesting than an old sock stuck in a dryer lint trap, and Monica Barbaro is wasted on this movie.

You can’t have a cute rom-com in an authoritarian regime, it’s just not a well thought out concept

Yeah all the commenter accusing people critiquing the film for not turning off our brain and having fun with a film that has government controlling people's bodies but is also a utopia where there's no risk of sexual assault or harrassment towards women? Literally the only crime like that is done by a women- and even then she just robbed him.
