Billed as a “subversive rom-com” to not give an excessive amount of away, “Oh, Hello!” premiered on the 2025 Sundance Movie Pageant. Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman star as Iris and Isaac, a pair whose first romantic getaway quickly goes awry. The outline teases that the “odd darkish comedy takes on the highs and lows of recent relationship and the methods it makes us all somewhat loopy.”

“It’s all about tone, proper? It’s such a skinny line,” Brooks stated. “The movie toes this actually skinny line of tone and perspective. It was actually necessary to me that each characters felt like actual folks and totally rounded, realized variations of themselves. It’s super-vulnerable, it’s extremely human to need love and to need to give love and be liked. Generally ladies, particularly, who say which can be thought of determined or loopy, and I feel that’s actually unfair. Iris is a extremely courageous character, and it’s an ideal storm of the whole lot form of touchdown in a means on the finish of the primary act the place you’re like, ‘Oh, if these issues hadn’t occurred, she most likely wouldn’t have performed this loopy factor.’ I hope that individuals can relate to love, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t do that, however in an ideal storm, possibly I’d.’ … The objective is to do it in a humorous, lighthearted means that’s entertaining to folks.”
She added, “As a result of, inherently, the film’s about miscommunication and the way these two persons are not on the identical web page, that second, the viewers is seeing his perspective in a scene the place it’s presupposed to be about her.”
