One Day*

(GB 2011)

Focus Features/Random House/Film Four/Color Force. 107m. ws

University graduates get together on St. Swithin's Day and spend their subsequent years on that date hankering for each other.
Poignant but slushy romance, refreshingly unpredictable in its plot and quite skilfully conveying the succeeding years (1988-2011) in its period detail, but with frustratingly little of the supporting characters in a narrative that only focuses on the one day itself, making the central lovers resemble something out of a winsome Julia Roberts vehicle.
