    5⭐ Rye Lane Oh boy did I love this movie. It was sweet and joyful. I feel like I know the heart of South London and I'm in love. I do love some good angst, but this was romance that makes you smile and honestly, how I hope to give and receive love. With the realism included it is a lovely film.

    So I'm in the process of updating the syllabus for my romance class, and I so want to teach the film Rye Lane. It's charming, and my students would love it. It also has a run time under 90 minutes (so many syllabus decisions are driven by length). But I cannot purchase this movie.

    The actual problem with the Baftas continues to be 'what's the point of them?' What's the point of a British film awards that in recent years hasn't noticed that e.g. Rye Lane *existed*, Scrapper exists, in which there are only two British directors on the shortlist, etc. etc.

    I already knew David Jonsson was incredible after seeing him in the fantastic RYE LANE, but seriously…why is he not in every single movie? I know he’s in THE LONG WALK, which I’m going to see as soon as I can, but the world needs more. Cast David Jonsson in everything, please.

    It is also just peak cultural cringe to look at a *BRITISH* film award that overlooks Rye Lane and shunts it into 'Best British film' and to go 'what about the film about an American doll that is a complete conceptual mess when you think about it?'

    David Jonsson won over our hearts here at BGN when we first interviewed him for the rom-com Rye Lane, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival a few years ago. He’s appeared in a number of projects, most notably HBO’s Industry, Alien Romulus and coming soon Lionsgate’s The Long Walk.

    Rye Lane is an absolutely bloody lovely film. Slightly reminds me of Before Sunrise, but in south London and more fun and not trying to impress you with how clever it is. On iPlayer for a couple more weeks I think

    I realized that I do like some romantic movies and tv shows…when they’re dramas. Where I keep running into problems are romcoms. I don’t think I’ve loved a romcom since Rye Lane. That’s kinda wild since the film came out 3 years ago. And most of my fave romcoms are from the 1990s.

    It's so fun to watch Rye Lane (2023) with @devilligan.bsky.social's movie club 🐀❣️ It's a rom-com that easily immerses you into something more adventurous and funny than your usual meet-cute. With snappy cinematography that draws you in and a beautiful lived-in chemistry I'd easily watch this again.

    Rye Lane What a gorgeous little gem of a film. A sort of Before Sunrise set in Peckham, Brixton and roundabout as two strangers both having suffered bad breakups meet-cute, walk, talk, and get to know each other. Easy to make this cheesy or schmaltzy, but it avoids that nicely. Top performances..
