Elizabeth Olsen Faces the Ultimate Romantic Dilemma in A24's Eternity
A24 just lit the afterlife on fire. This morning, the acclaimed indie studio debuted the first official trailer for Eternity, a high-concept romantic comedy set in the great beyond, starring Elizabeth Olsen (His Three Daughters), Miles Teller (The Gorge), and Callum Turner (Masters of the Air). The film, directed by Dating Amber's David Freyne, will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September before hitting theaters in November, and it's already shaping up to be one of A24's most buzzed-about releases this year. A Love Triangle That Transcends Death The premise? Simple in theory. Chaotic in execution. In Eternity, when people die, they aren't immediately whisked away to Heaven or Hell. Instead, they're given one week, seven ethereal days, to decide where, and more importantly with whom, they want to spend forever. And for Joan (Olsen), death is only the beginning of her problems. Freshly deceased, she finds herself reuniting with her recently dead husband Larry (Teller), the man she built a life with. But the cosmic curveball comes in the form of Luke (Turner), her long-lost first love who died tragically young and has spent decades in the afterlife waiting for her. Joan now faces the impossible: choose the comfortable love she knew or the soul she never got the chance to grow old with. 'A lot has happened in a week,' Joan sighs in the trailer. 'You died. I died. I've just been reunited with both of my dead husbands, and I have to pick where to spend eternity.' The trailer wastes no time diving into the romantic tug-of-war, teasing everything from heaven-adjacent group therapy sessions to surreal bureaucratic afterlife limbo, complete with clipboards and snarky guides. It's 'The Good Place meets The Notebook' with a twist of existential chaos. A Dream Team Behind and In Front of the Camera Eternity boasts a powerhouse team both on screen and behind the scenes. Elizabeth Olsen leads the cast with the charm and vulnerability she's become synonymous with, bringing unexpected warmth and comedic timing to a character teetering between heartbreak and hope. In a recent interview with Extra, Olsen hinted at the film's old-school rom-com roots: 'It's real fun. It's a callback to Billy Wilder films. I think it's gonna be a special romantic comedy that we're all really proud of.' Miles Teller, fresh off Top Gun: Maverick and Apple TV+'s The Gorge, brings his signature swagger and depth as Larry, the solid husband Joan built her life with. Meanwhile, Callum Turner delivers as the hauntingly tender Luke, whose wartime death robbed both of them of a future. Rounding out the ensemble are John Early, In the Heights' Olga Merediz, and Oscar-winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers), who's fast becoming the comedic scene-stealer of the moment. Behind the camera, director David Freyne is no stranger to heartfelt stories in unlikely circumstances. After his acclaimed 2020 LGBTQ+ rom-com Dating Amber, Freyne returns to the genre with an otherworldly twist. He also co-wrote the film with Pat Cunnane, a former Designated Survivor writer, whose original script appeared on the 2022 Black List, Hollywood's annual roll call of the best unproduced screenplays. Producers Tim White and Trevor White, best known for Oscar-nominated titles like King Richard, are on board under their Star Thrower Entertainment banner. And with A24's Midas touch, Eternity has all the ingredients of a festival darling and awards-season sleeper. A24's Hot Streak Continues A24 is having a year, and Eternity is the latest jewel in its halo. The studio's romantic gamble follows the success of Materialists, Celine Song's follow-up to Past Lives, which also featured a steamy love triangle, that one between Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. That film grossed over $52 million globally, setting a high bar for indie rom-coms and proving audiences still crave sharp, character-driven love stories with soul. And A24 isn't slowing down. Up next is Architecton (August 1), Viktor Kossakovsky's documentary on Berlin architecture. Then comes Highest 2 Lowest from Spike Lee starring Denzel Washington and Ne Zha 2 (August 22). October brings The Smashing Machine with Dwayne Johnson, directed by Benny Safdie, followed by Marty Supremestarring Timothée Chalamet on Christmas Day. With Eternity, A24 is clearly betting that a story about love beyond death will resonate just as deeply as Song's meditation on fate and timing. TIFF, Then Eternity Eternity is set to have its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 4 through 14. Early buzz suggests it could be one of the event's emotional high points, especially as Olsen's performance is poised to anchor one of the most complex, genre-blending romantic narratives in recent memory. Can love that never had the chance to grow compete with a love that weathered decades of reality? Can two wildly different kinds of romance both be right? And if you had to choose just one person to spend eternity with, how would you know? Those are the questions Eternity is asking, and if A24's track record holds, it won't be giving us easy answers. Eternity opens in theaters this November. Watch the full trailer below.

10 queer rom-coms to watch this Pride Month
@aniceindianboyfilm Pride Month is the perfect time to celebrate identity, representation and most of all, love. The origins of Pride date back to 1969, when members of the LGBTQIA+ community rebelled against the police raids at The Stonewall Inn in New York City. It's a powerful time during when the queer community claim their voices are unapologetically bold and free. But Pride doesn't always have to be about vibrant parades and elaborate parties to be meaningful. The celebration can be quiet too. It can look like taking a break from the festivities, curling up on the couch with your favourite snacks, a bottle of wine, and pressing play on the queer rom-coms of your choice. Who can resist a good love story anyway? For decades, romantic comedies have given us unrealistic meet-cutes, overly charming characters and oftentimes happy endings—but what they haven't always given us is inclusivity and diversity. Too often, queer characters were relegated to comic relief or reduced to tired stereotypes. If LGBTQ+ characters were featured in films, they were most likely there to support the growth of the protagonist—often by being the quintessential sassy gay best friend. Thankfully, that's changing. The recent years have seen a new wave of queer romance movies made more mindfully, dedicated to celebrating queer audiences and giving them significant representation on screen. From royal scandals and fake relationships to Bollywood weddings and sweet young queer love, Vogue Singapore rounds up a selection of heart-warming queer rom-coms that give the characters the perfect meet-cutes, angst and the swoon-worthy happy endings they've always deserved. Courtesy of IMDb 1 / 10 Cloudburst This painfully funny story follows Stella and Dotty, an elderly lesbian couple, who after spending a lifetime together find their relationship in peril when Dotty's granddaughter threatens to separate them. Together, the pair flee their nursing home and embark on a Thelma and Louise-style road trip to Nova Scotia to get married. The film beautifully shows that love comes in all forms, and that the love between Stella and Dotty is truly the kind that comes once in a lifetime. Expect both tears and laughter—it's an emotional rollercoaster at times, but one you surely would not want to miss. Watch Cloudburst on Apple TV+. Courtesy of Prime Video 2 / 10 Dating Amber Set in conservative 1990s rural Ireland, Dating Amber follows best friends Eddie and Amber—two closeted teens who decide to fake a relationship to hide their sexualities. As they navigate high school gossip and the pressures of living in a small town, their pretend relationship becomes a safe space. But after a few secret trips together to Dublin, the two teens discover that faking it can only take them so far. Watch Dating Amber on Apple TV+. Courtesy of Colour Yellow Productions 3 / 10 Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan This riotously funny romantic comedy tells the story of Kartik and Aman, a gay couple living in Delhi. Their relationship is challenged when they travel to the latter's hometown to attend a family wedding. When Aman's parents learn about their relationship, tensions rise as they struggle to accept the truth about their son. The film wittily blends humour with a sensitive portrayal of the challenges faced by queer couples in India, who continue to navigate life in a largely unaccepting society. Watch Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan on Amazon Prime. Courtesy of Prime Video 4 / 10 Red, White & Royal Blue Based on the novel by Casey McQuiston, this charming enemies-to-lovers story follows Alex Claremont Daiz—the son of the President of the United States of America and the Prince of Britain, Henry, as the two get into a nasty fight causing an International scandal. Following this, they are forced into a fake friendship to ease tensions. As they spend time together, witty banter gives way to affection and sparks fly. While the plot may be predictable, the chemistry between Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine is what truly makes you want to root for them at the end of the day. Watch Red, White & Royal Blue on Amazon Prime. Courtesy of IMDb 5 / 10 D.E.B.S. In this campy spy comedy, a top-secret government agency hires four exceptionally smart high school girls trained to fight crime.

Chaos unfolds when Min's grandmother arrives and throws an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. With a star-studded cast featuring Oscar-nominated Lily Gladstone, SNL star Bowen Yang, Kelly Marie Tran and Han Gi-chan, alongside the legendary Joan Chen and Youn Yuh-jung, this film is a poignant exploration of the raw challenges of starting a queer family. Watch The Wedding Banquet at The Projector.

As they are forced to work together, their polar opposite personalities clash, and eventually, sparks fly as hatred gives way to love. This slow-burn romantic comedy shows us that sometimes love is the most beautiful error. Watch Semantic Error on Netflix.
