Synopsis

After spending two blissful weeks together, Hannah and Archie confront the distance, doubts, and their own insecurities to see if their relationship can go the distance.
Moviegoers are saying
This Portland-set indie rom-com has charmed festival audiences with its refreshingly authentic take on messy, real-world relationships, anchored by the genuine chemistry between Conor Leslie and Brett Dier. While some critics found the production values lacking (comparing it to 'medication commercial b-roll'), most praised its honest portrayal of flawed characters navigating commitment issues and personal struggles.
