![]() ![]() ![]() What the film does have is a director, Ry Russo-Young (2017’s Before I Fall), who has an inherent feel for the city and its rhythms-especially the semi-narcotic way people experience it today with a soundtrack from their Beats headphones. Starring: Yara Shahidi, Charles Melton, Jake Choi, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Keong Sim and John Leguizamo Written by: Tracy Oliver (screenplay) and Nicola Yoon (book) This is a movie that talks endlessly about emotion but displays none of it-and the same can be said for all that destiny chatter. Nor could the circumstances that keep throwing them together feel more contrived. ![]() We are told again and again that both protagonists have urgent, life-shaping matters to attend to, but-as portrayed on screen-the stakes couldn’t feel less consequential. Not that the film gives them much to work with. ![]()
