Rye Lane

★★★★  ‘This is a warm, fun, instantly likeable story’ Empire

In this brilliant modern rom-com, Dom (David Jonsson) and Yas (Vivian Oparah) are mutually heartbroken in South East London. Yas decides to reclaim a beloved record from her ex Jules, roping Dom into the mission, helping Dom out by playing new girlfriend in front of his ex. But can new love bloom in the manure of recriminations over broken love?

Authentically set in Peckham yet also taking some enjoyably wild flights of fancy, Raine Allen-Miller’s debut brought all of her music-video-honed visual flair to the fore. One of the high points of recent British filmmaking, Rye Lane brilliantly, hilariously captures that moment when you can open your heart to love again.
