Somebody to Love

Set in Rome, this romantic comedy follows Piero, a divorced teacher, and Lara, a furniture restorer, during their first date. While the two attempt to connect, the film personifies their inner thoughts and anxieties as separate characters. These internal voices argue, offer advice, and sabotage the encounter, reflecting the conflict between the couple's outward actions and their private fears as they decide if they are compatible.

The film was directed by Paolo Genovese and is the eighth project in his career, following The First Day of My Life. The cast features Edoardo Leo as Piero and Pilar Fogliati as Lara, with supporting roles played by Emanuela Fanelli, Maria Chiara Giannetta, Claudia Pandolfi, and Vittoria Puccini. The screenplay was written by Francesco Piccolo, Isabella Aguilar, and Lucia Calamaro.

Produced by companies including RAI Cinema and Leone Film Group, the movie had a budget of 9 million USD and earned 22 million USD worldwide. Audience reception was generally positive, with a 6.9 rating on IMDb based on 5,100 votes and a 7.1 rating on TMDB from 578 votes. These viewers rated the film slightly higher than critics, who gave it a 6.6 rating based on 10 reviews.
