Jason Gorber reviews Young Werther on CBC Metro Morning. This Canadian rom-com, directed by José Lourenço, follows a writer’s hilarious pursuit of love in Toronto. Starring Allison Pill, Patrick J. Adams, and more!
The film is a heartfelt delight and an engrossing modernization of Its source material, with a strong central performance from Douglas Booth.
The filmmaker talks to That Shelf about the film's characters, her (spoiler-free) personal connection to the story and, of course, what it was like directing an icon like Kathleen Turner.
