Long Shot (2019 Jonathan Levine)

Presidential candidate Charlize Theron and louche journalist Seth Rogan knew each other as teenagers; she enlists him to help with her campaign and they fall in love.

Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah's screenplay isn't exactly original - in fact it's a classic romantic comedy of old - but it has fresh treatment and good humour, and the stars work.

With June Diane Raphael (who we thought was good already in Grace and Frankie; and was also in The Disaster Artist), O'Shea Jackson Jr, Ravi Patel, Bob Odenkirk and Andy Serkis (!) as the media mogul.



Photographed by Yves Bélanger. Levine made The Wackness and 50/50.
