What’s Love Got to Do With It? (12A) Borderlines Film Festival

How do you find lasting love in today’s volatile world?

For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe, swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s dismay. For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz, the answer is to opt for an “assisted” marriage to a bright, beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger chosen by matchmakers, she questions whether this approach to finding love might work. With a screenplay by Jemima Khan, the ex-wife of Pakistan’s president from 2019-2022, and a fabulous cast, this is deliciously enjoyable entertainment.
