OneTrueLoves Review: Phillipa Soo Shines In Soapy, Complicated Love Story
In recent months, the Taylor Jenkins Reid adaptation to receive the most attention is Prime Video's rocking Daisy Jones & the Six miniseries. On top of that, Reid already has several additional adaptations in the works, and the mere idea of each one has inspired plenty of excitement online. Amid all that is One True Loves, an understated movie based on one of Reid's earlier novels.
Reid wrote the screenplay for One True Loves alongside her husband Alex Jenkins Reid, while Andy Fickman stepped in to direct. Admittedly, the movie gets off to a rough start due to its time-jumping format, which darts between Emma's present and her past with Jesse. While this is necessary to establish the bond she shared with Jesse, it somewhat dulls the momentum of Emma's realization that her long lost husband is, in fact, alive.
It also helps that One True Loves is grounded by some endearing performers. Soo, best known for playing Eliza in the original Broadway cast of Hamilton, captures Emma's conflicted feelings in a sympathetic way. The fact that she has to portray everything from her raw grief to her unbridled happiness means Soo gets to really show off her range.
