What’s Love Got To Do With It review – sparky cross-cultural romcom​

Two childhood friends take opposing views on relationships in this peppy romcom directed by Shekhar Kapur and written by Jemima Khan. Documentary film-maker Zoe (Lily James) trawls dating apps and swipes her way to romance; doctor Kazim (Shazad Latif) takes the traditional route and opts for an arranged marriage. But when Zoe decides to document his journey, her camera reveals the stumbling blocks in each approach. The sparky chemistry between James and Latif leaves few surprises in how it all pans out, but it’s an unexpectedly, disarmingly sweet film.
