Lucy is an elite New York matchmaker: she knows how to find a couple for the most wealthy people in town. She herself, though, doesn’t have a pair—until at a client wedding, she meets the groom’s brother, a successful, glossy financier, and immediately runs into her ex, a part-time waiter.

A seductive, smartly refreshed addition to an impossibly, perhaps irredeemably old-fashioned genre that was once a Hollywood staple.

— Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Celine Sohn’s film examines love in the 21st century in the context of class barriers. In its irony and effortlessness, it is reminiscent of the classic romantic comedies of the late 1980s, but completely devoid of sentimental illusions.
