A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Emma Simmonds
This sparky British comedy from director Raine Allen-Miller puts a fresh spin on the Before Sunrise model, as two 20-something strangers spend a day together on the streets of south London. Yas (Vivian Oparah) is a garrulous, wannabe costume designer, while Dom (David Jonsson) is an awkward accountant who's still not over his ex. After they randomly meet in a unisex toilet, the pair bond over their respective romantic disasters, and Yas comes to Dom's rescue when she accompanies him to a meet-up with his ex-girlfriend (Karene Peter) and her new partner (Benjamin Sarpong-Broni). What follows is a rollercoaster of confession and emotion, interspersed with mischievous high-jinks, and lovable, star-making turns from Oparah and Jonsson. Popping with bold colours, larger-than-life characters and visual ingenuity, Rye Lane embraces the vibrancy of its setting, while the script from Nathan Bryon and Tom Melia is very funny indeed. There's a cheeky nod to genre staple Love Actually, but this is a romcom that plays entirely by its own rules.
