Description: “Finding You” (2021) is a romantic comedy that, despite its empowering title, primarily revolves around the influence of male characters on the protagonist’s journey. Instead of focusing on the heroine forging her own path, the film centers on her finding love with a charming young man, receiving life advice from an unexpected male mentor, and uncovering a message from her late brother. While this narrative choice may be seen as a misstep, the film’s lively performances and engaging cast make it an enjoyable coming-of-age story for female audiences.
The story follows Finley Sinclair (Rose Reid), a talented yet self-doubting violinist who struggles with her career ambitions due to her insecurities. After a disappointing audition at a prestigious New York music conservatory, Finley decides to take a semester abroad in Ireland, following in the footsteps of her late brother, Alex. During her journey, she unexpectedly crosses paths with Beckett Rush (Jedidiah Goodacre), a famous movie star, when they end up seated next to each other on the flight. Initially unimpressed by Beckett’s charm and good looks, Finley’s perspective changes when they discover they are staying at the same picturesque bed and breakfast in the coastal town of Carlingford. Their interactions in this quaint setting set the stage for a heartwarming and transformative experience.
