It is sad to realise that we have stopped to trust our instincts and rely on technology or what society considers as a rule. This film reminds us that love is a unique feeling and we should not rely on anything else than our heart. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that if this test was real, the majority of us would prefer to do this painful process just to ensure that have chosen the right person. Great movie, great acting and a story about love in a strange but extremely beautiful way. Jessie Buckley is brilliant and the chemistry between her and Riz Ahmed is something that you feel from the first moment they met. As should be done with love from first sight..

No, sorry. This is just plain daft! "Anna" (Jessie Buckley) is living with "Ryan" (Jeremy Allen White) having got their certificate. What certificate? Well it's one that certifies that they are a love match! She was a teacher, but is now job hunting - so when an opportunity to work at the very facility that empowered their affection comes up, she heads straight to the office of boss "Duncan" (Luke Wilson) where she insists she would be great at "training" the couples who come to have their own relationships finessed and evaluated so they, too, can be verified. She is duly employed and paired with the inspirational and charismatic "Amir" (Riz Ahmed) - who clearly has his own secret to keep, too! What now ensues just lacks any sense of credibility and, for me, any attempts at satire just fell flat, quickly. The tests are fun, though. In a room where all are clad in just their smalls, "Rob" (Christian Meer) has to quite literally sniff out his girlfriend whilst keeping his eyes closed; another sees people charged with keeping eye contact whilst immersed in ten foot of cold water - presumably more preoccupied with not literally drowning in a sea of love! The coup-de-grasses? Well that's the crunch time when they wrench one of your fingernails - don't worry, you get to choose which one - from each person's hand then insert them into a microwave-oven looking gadget that looks like a cast-off from "Space 1999" before it announces - 0%, 50% or the dreamt for 100% - and that's bliss!. The point of all this being that it could end divorce and unhappy marriages for ever. Once in love, always in love...! Hmmm? Buckley reminds us, occasionally, that she has a fine singing voice and Ahmed is easy enough on the eye (reductive, I know - but we really don't have much else) but the story is just ridiculous, and that grown up adults would ever treat with such preposterous scenarios is just too far-fetched. It's not in anyway a comedy, and the predictable romantic elements come with way too much physical, collateral, damage. It is even almost earnest at times and after half an hour I realised why I was watching this in a cinema by myself. Nice to hear a bit of Alison Moyet on big screen sound, but that's about the height of this. He really needs to get his car window fixed, too!

If you've ever been in love, true love you just know. You don't need anything as absurd as a test to tell you and that is what this movie proved. Science may be helpful but in the case of love it cannot measure it. This movie had me glued to my seat. The anticipation was a slow but swoon worthy build. I got butterflies watching Anna & Amir secretly falling in love with each other, both trying desperately to hide it. Although one of them fell harder and faster than the other, the only reason she wasn't there yet is because she was fighting her feelings due to her current relationship & the ridiculous test results with him. It was so obvious they were not right together and that she and Amir were. Their chemistry was undeniable. This movie made me think of my favorite quote " Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same. " ~ Emily Bronte Any movie that takes my mind back to that quote is a gem in my eyes. I truly enjoyed this movie, I only wish the ending were a little more polished, showed a little more passion and had more of a solid conclusion. But I think we all know that they belonged together. It was beautifully told regardless. 10/10.

I generally watch anything that has Riz Ahmed in and never leave reviews but I'm really glad I watched this and was surprised to see such a low score. I found it a calm and peaceful film but I really felt it between Anna and Amir. I enjoyed subtlety of the question of whether love is enough. Jessie Buckley is brilliant (I've only seen her in Men up until now and she shows a totally different side in this film) and I found her heartache so easy to connect with. Riz Ahmed is as excellent as ever and brings Amir to life gently. Don't let the scores put you off, it's definitely worth the watch.

I wish I never saw this movie in the top list of Apple TV. I am almost thinking to cancel my subscription. I will never trust the top movie list again. This movie was truly bad. I rarely gave bad reviews to movies. This one was not only waste of time but you just wish the writer never wrote something like this to waste the cast energy, time, and money. The acting was bad because the story was bad. It's not only boring but it's torture to watch a story without anything to do with love. No chemistry of any kind between the people. If you didn't watch this movie do a favor to yourself and don't watch it. I'm wondering how Apple TV can put this movie in the top list. For someone like me I never trust Apple TV list again.

One of the dumbest movies I've seen in a long time. If you read the synopsis it sounds like there was a good idea to start with but then somebody either too dumb to notice or who thought we were too dumb to notice that the whole story ended up just another way of pushing an ideology that I won't go into here. And of all things, why the fingernail. So dumb. It was an insult to our intelligence. If there was a machine that was so advanced that all you had to do was put a sample from each person in it to see if they were compatible it surely wouldn't require ripping out a fingernail from the root to achieve this magical diagnosis. And the main character already has a guy who loves her and who was willing to get his fingernail ripped out again just for her but then she doesn't like the results. That actually is the only part that rang true for me. That just siounded like most marriages today where the husband may not be perfect but will always have your back but a good and faithful husband is never enough for today's "grass is always greener" women. A good idea badly told and yet another abrupt ending which in this case was welcome because too much more and I would have ripped out my own fingernails. Start making entertaining movies and then I might consider paying to see them.

The entire premise of the movie is to give women a way to validate cheating on their significant other and claiming they did it for "love"!!! The female lead in the movie begins to have feelings for her co-worker and instead of communicating this to her significant other she instead decides to start little arguments knit picking and finding reasons to have a problem with her significant other Instead of talking it out or trying to communicate different ways of Explain their love the relationship start something new she met picks and the while falling more in love with her co-worker so she thinks And becoming more bored with her significant other blaming the downfall of their love On falling into some kind of routine All in all it's just how women go about deciding they want to cheat on their significant others.

I can handle watching almost anything in a movie pretty easily, but the one thing that really bothers me is seeing people have their fingernails pulled out of their hands. I have to look away and press down on my own fingernails to feel better. So this film was not an easy watch for me. That said, it's about the most the film made me feel at any point, so that's something. Early on the film has a real 'Black Mirror' feel about it. Then as the film goes on you realise why it couldn't be a 'Black Mirror' episode - because they refuse to do anything dark or interesting with the concept. This really is a case of a film just floating along until the inevitable finish line. The stakes are never raised and there is an incredible lack of conflict. I also didn't care about any of the love stories or character interactions. Everyone was far too painfully normal and dull to justify being in a film. The grounded approach never really comes across all that well either, mainly because the concept is so absurd. This was a pretty forgettable experience. 5/10.

If this story had been well written, I'd have liked the leads together very much. Sadly, it was not well written. I'm a scifi geek and I normally can suspend disbelief and don't care about the science, nor the premise, all that much. In this case, the way this story is written, a five year old child would question the test. I agree with other reviewers that the fact that none of the film's own characters question it strains the disbelief several steps too far, particularly considering how low tech this particular method of this trope is portrayed here. Since most of the characters appear miserable (agree with 'bleak world'), it's extremely depressing and drags on so badly. I cannot imagine a GOOD reason to watch this film. Further, if a large number of people watched it together, say in a theater, I would suggest putting the group on suicide watch.
