A sweet romcom which feels like a love letter not only to Italy, but also to similar movies from the 2000's.
The plot follows video journalist Gregory Spring who is sent to Italy to cover the upcoming selection of a new pope. While there, he is immediately smitten by Maria, who is set to become a nun in just a matter of day. As their chemistry heats up, Gregory experiences strange "coincidences" that threaten to put a stop to their romance.
It features a charming performance by Callum Turner, who shares sizzling chemistry with Matilda De Angelis, and that's what the main selling point is here. The cliches and predictability of it all bares no impact when you have a pair of fantastic leads like this.
It has plenty of laughs as well as many moments that will give you those romantic butterflies. A perfect lazy Sunday afternoon watch.
