Ivy Bettencourt (Emilia Clarke), the heroine of writer-director Drake Doremus‘ latest romantic navel-gazer, is a little bit of a mess.
We know this because the first time we see her, she’s oversleeping her alarm by so much that she barely makes her train — at which point she promptly spills coffee all over a handsome stranger, Edgar Ramírez’s Diego. We also know this because one of the next times we see her, she’s getting smashed at her goddaughter’s christening, having just reconnected with Noah (Jack Farthing), the ex-boyfriend and ex-boss who’d so recently broken her heart.
Next Life
The Bottom Line
Plenty of sugar but not enough flavor.
