One True Loves Review
‘One True Loves’ movie adaptation explores a complicated love triangle. NY Times best-selling author Taylor Jenkins Reid’s popular romance novel comes to the big screen with Phillipa Soo and Simu Liu as the romantic leads.
The rom-com is based on NY Times Best Selling author Taylor Jenkins Reid’s work, who also wrote the screenplay along with her husband. This helped the screen adaptation stay true to the book with little deviance. Phillipa Soo’s performance as Emma is so natural and relatable that you can’t help but fall in love with her and cry with her through her heartbreaks. The comedic moments were great to break up the more tense scenes but felt like it fell on Simu Liu’s shoulders to deliver most of those moments rather than having it more evenly distributed amongst the cast.
