Molly Gordon: 'Oh, Hi!' Inspired by Real Heartbreak

UPSTATE NEW YORK, JUL 21 – The film uses dark comedy to examine modern dating challenges through a couple's weekend that includes handcuffs, kidnapping, and attempts to prove relationship compatibility.

  • On July 25, 2025, Sony Pictures Classics releases 'Oh, Hi!' directed by Sophie Brooks, set at an Upstate New York cabin with a provocative romantic premise.
  • In response to Isaac’s revelation, Iris plans to confine Isaac after reading romance advice articles, reacting by attempting to persuade him of their compatibility.
  • Iris leaves Isaac handcuffed to the bed for 12 hours, while Max and Kenny arrive at the farmhouse to lend a hand and become accomplices to a kidnapping.
  • Critics note the balance of humor and drama, and Brooks and Gordon resisted horror notes to maintain a comedic tone.
  • By blending dark humor and kink, Oh, Hi! signals a long-term shift in rom-coms, inviting audiences to reimagine modern dating and communication issues, with comparisons to early Pedro Almodóvar for its bold premise and ensemble cast.
