Alice Lowe’s vibrant second feature offers a playful take on the romantic comedy with a reincarnation twist. Agnes chases her true love across the centuries, but can’t quite seem to get the happy ending she’s looking for. Her various unlucky deaths and a cast of offbeat side characters repeatedly get in her way. Packed with laughs and a host of familiar faces including Aneurin Barnard, Jacob Anderson, Nick Frost, Kate Dickie and Tanya Reynolds, this genre-defying romp is as emotionally insightful as it is entertaining.
