Rye Lane – Watch the new trailer for the London based rom-com

Searchlight Pictures has released the official first trailer and poster for Rye Lane.

From breakout director Raine Allen-Miller, RYE LANE is a romantic comedy that stars Vivian Oparah (Class, The Rebel) and David Jonsson (Industry, Deep State), as Yas and Dom, two twenty-somethings both reeling from bad break-ups, who connect over the course of an eventful day in South London – helping each other deal with their nightmare exes, and potentially restoring their faith in romance.

Hillary saw the film at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and said it was “a wonderful, modern take on the romantic comedy.” You can read her full review here.
