All of You

What happens when science finds you a soulmate after you’ve already found one? That’s the dilemma posed by star and co-writer Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso), teaming with Emmy-winning Black Mirror writer William Bridges, who directs this bittersweet futuristic fable. Goldstein and the terrifically appealing Imogen Poots are Simon and Laura, inseparable besties since college, whose bond is threatened when she takes a newfangled test that locates one’s perfect soulmate (“We make happiness a science”). Though it’s obvious they’re meant for each other, Simon — who refuses to take the test — and Laura are kept apart after she takes the path the test chose for her, and as time goes on, things get complicated when they realize they can’t quit each other despite the evidence of her “perfect” life.
