An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together, in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.. When Florence Pugh couldn't make it to the film' ;s premiere due to other filming commitments, Andrew Garfield brought a life-sized cutout of her to fill her absence.. During the living room scene With the candles and fire Almut closes Tobias's notebook but in the next shot it is open.. Almut: What’s the rush?Tobias: Because I’m worried that’s there’s a very distinct and real possibility that I am about to fall in love with you.. Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Timothée Chalamet/Colman Domingo/Andrew Garfield/James Corden/Ruth Jones/Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir (2024). Is It a SinWritten by Al HazanPerformed by Allie Hazan. Tobias (Andrew Garfield) is hit by a car driven by Almut (Florence Pugh). She stays in the hospital until he wakes up and because – despite having a broken arm and being in a neck brace – he has already been discharged (there are not enough beds available – political comment there!) takes him to dinner. He is newly-divorced, she has just come out of a lesbian relationship. Despite this unpromising beginning, there is mutual attraction and the pair begin a years-long relationship.The two leads make an engaging couple. Pugh, especially, is easy to accept as the fiery Almut. Garfield plays nice guy Tobias a bit too geeky to be completely believable, but he manages to stay on the right side of annoying (and, if the shapely bare buttocks in the bathroom scene belong to him and not to a body double, he has a very nice bottom – just saying…) No other actors get enough screen time to make an impact, although I was struck at seeing Douglas Hodge playing Tobias' father – twenty or thirty years ago, he would probably have been playing the male lead himself.This is a good example of a chick flick: romantic, cheesy and leaving not a single dry eye in the house. I am not sure I would watch it again, but I am glad I saw it at least once.
