New Movie: One Day

 


OMG, I can barely contain the emotion just watching the trailer for this movie.  I read One Day by David Nicholls for my book club a few months ago and I can honestly say that I have not cried like that in a really, really long time.  The book stuck with me for at least a week after I was done.  The book is about the relationship between Annie and Dexter, starting when they graduate university, and checks in on them each anniversary of that date for twenty years.  I would have never guessed at the beginning of the book that I would be so invested and fallen so much in love with the book.  The movie is directed by Lone Scherfig, who also directed An Education (which I loved).  I hope that the same sensibility, style and vision that made An Education so amazing will come through in One Day.  This one may be a twenty hanky movie.
