An overstuffed yet honest romance, Clio Barnard's Ali & Ava is a true-to-life courtship full of complex charm. chlopinions' review:
Even before they meet, Ali and Ava’s lives are full of complications. Although Ali separated from his wife months earlier, the two of them still live in the same house , while she finishes studying for a degree. They’ve been maintaining their marriage charade in front of his large family, not wanting to invoke anyone’s ire or disappointment.
With so much going on for both of them, neither is actively on the look out for a partner. And yet from the moment they meet—as Ali offers Ava a lift home from school on a biblically rainy day—there’s an undeniable spark.follows the pair as they explore whether that spark is strong enough to stand up to the prevailing winds of the rest of their lives.
Still, there’s something to be said for a film that often functions as a romantic comedy—albeit an unconventional one—taking place in a world that feels so bustling and populated with real people dealing with genuine concerns . Ali and Ava have been busy and fully living their lives, not waiting around for the other to show up and save them from an empty existence. As such, there are no great fireworks when they are together—their days are noisy enough as it is. Instead, there’s a sense of calm.
