on social networks. While some praise the text and real and critical approach of Song, others claim to have been frustrated by the feature, expecting a romantic comedy.

The official synopsis says, “Lucy is a New York matchmaker who finds himself divided between Harry, a romantic and mysterious entrepreneur, and John, a former boyfriend who is still trying to balance his life, but arouses an old passion in the woman,” but the plot goes beyond that.

From Lucy’s life, the filmmaker seeks to address the way modern relationships have worked. Production reflects on filters, demands and expectations that precede a first date, dating and a marriage.

She decides to focus on a materialistic way to relate. Lucy’s client wants to find love, but this love must have a certain time, a certain salary and a good look.

While a traditional romantic comedy tends to bring fairy tale elements, Song’s approach to “materialistic loves” is to expose the real and modern world of relationships, as it did in “past lives.”
