Noa is a young woman who is frustrated with the dating scene. One day she meets Mr. Seemingly Right in a grocery store, but he is not the man he appears to be. Structurally Mimi Cave's directorial debut is bold like Takeshi Miike's Audition. It starts as a cute and sweet romantic comedy, but after a 30-minute cold open, it turns into something completely different. Apart from the cleverly constructed script (by Lauryn Kahn), good performances, and tasty twist, this turns out to be a formulaic and predictable thriller.
