All That She Wants Review: Smart, Fun Romcom Where Gen Z and Millennial Meet Cute in Bed
Confirmed
In Short: 'All That She Wants' is a charming romcom that explores the chemistry between Annie Murphy and Cooper Raiff as they navigate parenthood after a one-night stand.
The film's setting in Glasgow adds an authentic touch, with iconic locations like Kelvingrove Art Gallery popping up in the background. "Premature," the indie film by Walls, was shot across the city, offering a unique blend of local charm and cinematic flair. "The good news is this one is refreshingly smart and funny with actors you would like to see get together despite their age difference," said a reviewer from Deadline.
The story revolves around Emma, a dancer played by Murphy, who finds herself in a predicament after a one-night stand with Luke, a grad student played by Raiff. The film explores Emma's dilemma of whether to continue her career or embrace motherhood, a question that resonates with many modern women. "Does she want to keep dancing, which has long been her career and also doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?" asked a reviewer from IndieWire.
