9/10
Highly recommended!

The 2022 film "A Grand Romantic Gesture" from filmmaker Joan Carr-Wiggin conains all the wonderfully humorous, ironic, touching dialogue and quirky plot twists so characteristic of her work. The "star-crossed lovers" Simon and Ava (Douglas Hodge and Gina McKee) are as unforgettable as, say, the love triangle Abby, Luke and Kayla (Natasha Little, Rupert Penry-Jones and Rachel Blanchard) in her 2020 film, "Getting to Know You."

A delightful surprise was that the music by Kenneth Harrison includes "Never Enough," performed by boywonderbread, over the end credits. The soundtrack is available on Apple Music.

Only quibble is that the Blu-Ray disk, from Gravitas Ventures, contains only the film and subtitles setting - no commentary, interviews, location photographs, etc.
