An unusual romantic comedy "Oh, Hi!" – it's about dates, awkward dialogues, BDSM, and the fears of modern relationships. Find out why this film won't let you go right after the credits.

Iris and Isaac (Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman) go on a romantic trip: the nature of New York State, strawberries at a farm stand, singing together in the car, and a weekend for two. Only for Iris, this trip is the final rehearsal before the "officially together" status, and for Isaac... well, more like a warning sign that "everything is moving too fast."

The couple rents a house, plans romance, but in reality, everything quickly devolves into an open confrontation. A few careless words, a drop of jealousy—and the game of Gerald begins. And a dinner "with a BDSM twist," unexpected guests, and an equally unexpected captivity become a catalyst not only for comedic moments but also for a real test of boundaries.

The film "Oh, Hi!" has a lot that is recognizable—no matter how old you are or who you are dating. The main bonus of the film is the sensitivity of an ironic melodrama and a close look at what everyone is afraid to talk about. The fear of being rejected, of not being the right one, of being superfluous.

Molly Gordon knows how to combine vulnerability and stubbornness—her Iris can evoke both sympathy and irritation in one monologue, as well as a desire to pat her on the shoulder. Logan Lerman adds depth to his character: his Isaac is not just another victim of a "scary modern girl," but a guy with his own traumas and quirks. There are no "bad" or "good" here: everyone annoys each other because everyone is afraid to be themselves.

The film rides on an excellent duo that drives the plot. The supporting cast (Geraldine Viswanathan, John Reynolds) adds a bit of chaos and necessary comedic flashes to keep things from getting too monotonous. Director Sophie Brooks doesn't reinvent the wheel, but she doesn't fall into banal moralizing either: everyone has their quirks, and no one has to be perfect.

The film has one problem: it tries to seem like something bigger than it actually is. Plus, not every viewer will appreciate this mix of irony and absurdity: those looking for a straightforward classic comedy will sometimes get tired of the psychological entanglements.

If you're tired of vanilla on screen and want to see the fears of modern couples—don't pass it by. This is a movie about expectations, the desire to be needed, and at the same time about freedom. "Oh, Hi!" is great for fans of awkward dialogues and connoisseurs of small genres (some might call it mumblecore). Recommended for family (and not so family) viewing. There will only be honest questions and very strange actions.
