Broadcast on TF1 Sunday, February 8th at 9:10 PM, Tout sauf toi is a romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck, who also co-writes the screenplay with Ilana Wolpert. Released in theaters in January 2024, the film stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell in a chemistry-driven duo grounded in opposition, misunderstandings, and thwarted attraction. This latest romantic comedy follows the American tradition, set against an Australian backdrop and sprinkled with nods to classic theater.
Bea and Ben appear to be the perfect couple after an almost flawless first date. However, an unforeseen incident suddenly shatters the budding chemistry between them and creates a lasting distance. The two young adults move on with their lives, each convinced they’ll never see each other again.
By chance, they cross paths again months later at a wedding in Australia. Stuck in the same social circle, Bea and Ben fall back on a classic rom-com tactic: pretending to be a couple. What follows is a series of awkward moments, witty exchanges, and mistaken feelings, with buried emotions gradually surfacing once more.
Loosely inspired by Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, Tout sauf toi reimagines Béatrice and Benedick’s story in a contemporary setting. The dialogues and character interactions follow the classic Shakespearean comedy of manners, emphasizing witty exchanges, playful manipulation, and the gradual unveiling of genuine feelings.
The film largely hinges on the chemistry between its two leading stars. Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in Euphoria and The Handmaid’s Tale, brings to life a heroine who is both sharp-tongued and vulnerable. Standing opposite her is Glen Powell, who’s garnered attention in Top Gun: Maverick, delivering an energetic and confident performance as her dynamic counterpart. Their constant interplay creates a compelling rhythm that propels the story forward.
Filmed in Sydney and set against stunning Australian landscapes, the movie makes the sunny scenery a striking contrast to the emotional undercurrents of its characters. The direction keeps a brisk pace, blending sharp dialogue with group scenes, catering to fans of light-hearted romantic stories rooted in classic Hollywood traditions.
