Romantic comedy drama in which a woman befriends a musician who her boyfriend is obsessed with.
A sharp-witted, amusing, often genuinely moving romantic comedy. With an indie-rock heart and outstanding performances from Byrne and Hawke, this is comfort food of a superior order.
Despite an impressive cast, this adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel about an unlikely love triangle falls rather flat.
The mood is kept light and whimsical throughout. Juliet, Naked is very soft-centred. Even so, the humour can’t always hide the desperation of the characters as they see their opportunities for happiness and fulfilment slipping away.
The Byrne/Hawke combo is great, but they're hampered by a cringey playbook.
