One Day

While the overriding theme of this film is love, it is less about romance and more about two friends navigating their way through life.

We meet Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) on their final day of college, and we see them again every year on the same day. We see them grow, along with fashion and technology, and meander as they search for meaning and question their obvious love for each other, all the while living very separate lives.

What’s refreshing about the film is its avoidance of the usual cheesy clichés of other love stories. It’s fresher and wittier than your average and for that deserves a thumbs-up.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
