We discuss the ending of the 2023 Hulu film Rye Lane which will contain spoilers.
There were many films at Sundance that didn’t hit, like Rye Lane. It felt like a bolt of energy from the second it started. Co-writers Nathan Bryon and Tom Melia capture the essence of dating today and how hard it is to find a genuine connection.
This simple 24 hours of Dom and Yas getting to know each other through their past experiences and being honest with each other is the most important aspect of their budding relationship.
They hold nothing back from each other and are open with their past. Sure, it can be seen as a friendship, but truly understanding the other person is a beautiful form of acceptance.
The writing is razor-sharp, and it feels like a random day that went well for Dom and Yas. It felt like the universe was pulling them together, and everything just fell into place.
There’s this really easy energy between Jonsson and Oparah which makes this movie feel like a brisk walk in the park. It’s fast-paced and wickedly funny when they encounter each other’s exes, and the direction from Raine Allen-Miller was incredibly strong.
Even though it is a romantic comedy, Allen-Miller had fun with the camera, and there were some bold choices to keep the day moving.
It is such a wonderful rom-com with so much heart and depth to the relationships that people can form quite effortlessly. The more you don’t try, things can just come together without an explanation.
If it’s easy to talk to someone and naturally evolve the relationship day by day, then you have something special right there. Whether it’s platonic or romantic, you should fight for that and hold onto it.

She tells him to go down and meet her at the dock.
There they couldn’t contain how they felt about each other; they knew there was a connection there, and there was no denying it. So, they end up kissing and decide to start their relationship journey.
