We know that NYC matchmaker Dakota Johnson's view of perfect couples is all wrong but it takes the whole film to catch on she should be with Chris Evans - he's better looking than Pedro Pascal too.
Song directs with formality and isn't afraid to leave characters in long takes and medium shot. She takes great care with scenes too - for example the wedding dance the couple find themselves in the middle of, and that tree behind Evans' head at the end.
We thought it was great, didn't even realise Song (Past Lives) had another film out and funnily enough, I was thinking this reminded me in tone of Lost in Translation, something that applied to the earlier film too.
With Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nevrasova, Emmy Wheeler, Louisa Jacobson, Eddie Cahill, Sawyer Spielberg (son of). DP Shabier Kirchmer, editor Keith Fraase return from the previous film. Daniel Pemberton's score has a nice way of keeping it going.
I like the way Johnson's handled her career, no doubt supported by her mum and dad Melanie Griffiths and Don Johnson.
