In this world, there is a love test for couples to see if they have true love. Anna (Jessie Buckley) and Ryan (Jeremy Allen White) took the test three years ago and they passed. It's a relief. She starts working at an institute run by Duncan (Luke Wilson). They teach couples how to do better with the test. Her doubts about her relationship rises as she feels drawn to fellow teacher Amir (Riz Ahmed).
It is an interesting idea although the film is resting on that idea a little too much. It needs to get a bit more wacky and strange. For example, the pot throwing scene is fun, but they need to be playing "Unchained Melody". Better yet, somebody should be singing it... badly. As for the sniff test, everybody should be dressed up with a CPAP machine. There are ways to make this world sillier and more surreal. As for the plot, it is straight forward. It is so straight that it really loses steam before its almost two hours running time. This is too long and a bit slow. I love these three actors, but they simply run out of things to do.
