In this Misery-esque millennial rom-com-drama, Iris and Isaac go on their first couples vacation, at a cabin far out from the city. We follow them in the first few moments of the film, driving further and further from civilization, finally arriving at their romantic weekend getaway. When things go unexpected, Iris faces a crossroads about what to do, and how to save her relationship without further implicating herself. While Molly Gordon as Iris remains her charming and quirky self though out, and her chemistry with Logan Lerman as Isaac is ever present, the film takes some turns near the end that make it feel like it’s going off the rails, but never failed to keep me laughing.

After a night of bondage play together at their weekend away, Isaac mentions to his partner Iris that he is not looking for a relationship, which comes as a surprise to Iris, who has been calling him her boyfriend this whole time. Chained to the bed, Isaac agrees, if he even has a choice, to give Iris a few hours to convince him that they would be a good pair. But as things keep taking unexpected turns, and Iris falls deeper in to desperation as she is reminded that Isaac can go to the police for kidnapping, things continue to take a turn for the worst.

I was immediately struck by the charisma that Molly Gordon has throughout the film. Her self-deprecating jokes never come off as too much, and she is still able to balance this comedic performance with a more serious tonal performance as Iris struggles with her own self-worth and confidence.

Alongside her is Logan Lerman, who is surprisingly able to keep up with her comedic performance, while maintaining a weird sense of chemistry with Gordon even in the moments when his character is also frightened of her and trying to escape.

One downside of the film is how it slightly feels like it goes off the rails in the third act. When new faces arrive to the cabin to help Iris and plans fall into place, it sometimes falls too far into farce. It does slightly redeem itself by the end, and become a bit more grounded, but this never truly does save the film, as the farce ends up making the film feel quite long overall. On top of this, it feels like the film goes in circles, rather than doing anything that feels fresh or new by the end.

Speaking on modern relationships, the script co-written by director Sophie Brooks and actress Molly Gordon is able to touch on aspects of casual relationships and the anxieties that often come with modern dating with a comedic tone that feels relatable to anyone experiencing the same in the world today.

Oh, Hi! is a charming rom-com lead by the charismatic Molly Gordon. Although it falls a bit too far into farce comedy by the end, it remains a fun summer movie that touches on anxieties of modern dating and defining relationships that everyone will be able to relate to.

Oh, Hi! will be released in select theatres in Canada on July 25, 2025.
