Oh, so you want to watch a lovingly crafted romantic drama about two people who are made for each other but are constantly out of reach? And you also want to have your heart broken into a million pieces because life keeps getting in their way? Well, you're in luck. 

One Day, based on the novel by David Nichols, follows Emma (Ambika Mod) and Dexter (Leo Woodall) as their lives are examined for just one day every year starting in 1988 and ending in 2004. They meet, fall in love, are separated by fate and circumstance, have their hearts broken, find fulfilling careers, fall in love again. 

And it's all brilliant. From its intimate narrative structure to the chemistry of its two leads, One Day examines the intricacies of young love, career uncertainties, family drama and grief in such an authentic way that you'll find something to relate and connect to regardless of where you are in life.

A transporting romance that blends comedy and tragedy with tear-inducing results, One Day is a love story you simply have to hear.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
