“ ‘We Broke Up’ catches a rom-com ripple and rides it toward sweet laughs and some authentic insights. It even surprises — an increasingly hard thing to pull off in the genre. Plying emotionally attuned dialogue and deft delivery, director Jeff Rosenberg and co-writer Laura Jacqmin know their way around a laugh or two.”
“The leads, William Jackson Harper and Aya Cash, are our friends from TV (The Good Place and You’re The Worst), and they’re charming and sometimes heartbreaking here as Doug and Lori, a couple dealing with the realization that they might want different things after years together. Directed by TV veteran Jeff Rosenberg (who co-wrote with playwright Laura Jacqmin), the film has a throwback indie feel while both leaning into and evading rom-com tropes.”
“We Broke Up is the little film that could, finally premiering in theaters on April 16 and on VOD April 23 after nearly a decade since its inception. Writers Jeff Rosenberg and Laura Jacqmin brought a dying relationship to life in their unusual romantic comedy, and brought together such a stellar cast for a 15-day shoot that it seems almost kismet.”
