Our take

A young Adèle Haenel (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) stars in this feel-good romantic comedy, the charming debut feature from French auteur Thomas Cailley. Rich in screwball humor and American indie influences, Love at First Fight is a sweet-natured, engaging summer tale about a mismatched couple.
