Two young South-Londoners connect after both go through break-ups and spend a day together in this terrifically charming and hugely enjoyable British indie rom-com. Mostly a two-hander as Dom and Yas go through the day and interact with a variety of quirky characters from both of their lives, the tiny-slice-of-life film delivers a great balance of chucklesome comedy moments and sincere heartfelt drama with relentless well-written sparky dialogue and an endlessly cool soundtrack, made with lovely attention to detail throughout (keep your eye on what is going on in the background of a lot of scenes). Both David Jonsson and particularly Vivian Oparah bring real warmth and personality to their lead roles, and it is a joy to go along with their characters for the ride. Put simply, Rye Lane is sweet, warm-hearted and utterly delightful. Don't miss the funny outtake at the very end of the credits!
