A brilliant comedy. The dialogue is urgent and effective, the editing expertly stitches the three settings together (the dinner, her mind and his mind) with perfect comic timing, and the stellar cast is in perfect harmony. It’s easy to predict a positive response from the public for this pop-quality comedy, which is very easy to identify with and perfect for clearing our minds of thoughts.
An amusing, enjoyable experience. Proof that it is not a bad thing to let yourself be carried away by your feelings, even when they are insecure, contradictory and tangled.
Hilarious. A comedy with touch, class and a sense of observation of humans grappling with their emotions and postures. Unmissable.

WINNER - 2025 NASTRO D'ARGENTO AWARDS - Best Comedy, Best Actress

After the global success of 2016’s Perfect Strangers, writer/director Paolo Genovese has struck gold again with his record-breaking hit SOMEBODY TO LOVE, an hilarious, all-star romantic comedy that reveals the innermost thoughts and uncertainties of an Italian couple on their awkward first date.

Rome, present day. Recently separated philosophy professor and father-of-one Piero (Breaking Up In Rome's Edoardo Leo) has arrived for dinner at the home of Lara (Pilar Fogliati), a talented furniture restorer. Lara has just ended her own relationship with a married man; indicative, she feels, of her tendency towards dead-end romances.

As the two begin to get to know each other, they must also navigate their competing inner voices: the thoughts - whether instinctive, romantic, logical or impulsive - that guide their emotions and decisions. Over the course of the evening, Piero and Lara’s hidden desires and quirks gradually come to light, along with their hearts’ unmistakeable desire to find a perfect match. Their heads, however, may have other plans…

Skilfully blending the same charm and comedic expertise that made Perfect Strangers one of the most internationally remade films in cinema history, SOMEBODY TO LOVE swept over 2.5 million moviegoers off their feet to become Italy’s #1 box office hit of 2025.  Arguably the date-night movie of the year, this is fresh, uproarious and crowd-pleasing entertainment at its best. Don’t miss it.
