I generally don't fall in love with romantic films...but I tumbled head over heels for Comet. Sam Esmail puts a unique spin on the light romance formula, injecting it with a non-linear format, characters that have growth arcs while possessing a consistent core, numerous intense conversations on heady relationship topics, and an open ended conclusion that is perfectly placed. Elevating this even higher are the phenomenal performances from Justin Long and Emmy Rossum. This was an absolute gem that I'm glad I discovered.
