Rye Lane: Movie Review

Romantic relationships are tricky. You have needs, but you also have to consider the needs of your partner. You have to strike and maintain a perfect balance in the relationship to keep the fire alive. But bumps are often inevitable. Yes, communicating with your loved ones is the answer to all problems, but some people would rather jump ship than drown.

Take it from Dom (David Jonsson) and Yas (Vivian Oparah).

Dom’s long-time girlfriend (Karene Peter) cheated on him with his best friend, Eric (Benjamin Sarpong-Broni). Oh, it hurts to get replaced by your pal, but the really painful part about all this mess is that Eric has no job and is a little slow. Whereas Dom is nice and considerate and a successful accountant.

Yas is also fresh from a breakup. But unlike Dom, she dumped her boyfriend (Malcolm Atobrah) for simply refusing to wave at people on boats. She believes that her man hates joy. He also treats her like she’s insignificant. He has a new girlfriend now.

The two meet inside an all-inclusive restroom. Yas heard Dom’s helpless whimpers as he watched her ex’s videos. She is naturally curious about him, so she strikes up a conversation outside. As they uncover each other’s sob stories, they discover that there are things they can learn from each other and that there’s more to life than their ungrateful exes.
