#TIFF22 thank you so much for having us. #whatslovegottodowithit
I’m so unbelievably grateful that the Toronto audience showed our film so much love and also that the Asian community showed up for us and supported it so warmly and that our first reviews have been so incredibly kind & positive. Anyone who knows me, knows how nervous I was and also how hard I worked on this film. It only took 15 years... I don’t usually blow my own trumpet but since this, like all films, has been a collaborative effort, and the result of a multitude of creative visions, please forgive the showoffiness if I post some of the nice comments from reviewers in the knowledge it may well go downhill from here... 😊
The Hollywood Reporter-
A Pitch-Perfect Lily James Headlines a Vibrant Multicultural Rom-Com.... What’s Love Got To Do With It? serves as a master class in how to adhere faithfully to the classic romantic-comedy template and yet still emerge with something that delivers delightfully on both sides of the hyphen....Kapur’s soulful touch, working from a knowing script by Jemima Khan, hits all the desired marks... Although there have been previous rom-coms built around family-dictated “assisted” marriages versus the power of attraction, few have managed to so satisfyingly balance the laugh-out-loud funny with the romantic longing and sense of belonging so effectively captured in Kapur’s sensitive direction and Khan’s script.
Asian Culture Vulture- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
THIS is a lot of fun – there are lots of good moments but what really raises this film above the usual romcom is its cultural awareness.... this is as sure footed a film of this genre, as you will find this side of Lahore....Jemima Khan’s first debut fiction script is a triumph and is aided by an ensemble cast that is in the finest of fettles... We won’t spoil it for you – this film is entertaining, insightful and deserves to be seen widely.
