I haven't seen Emma Thompson play such a lightweight character before she always gives a good performance.


I like Lily James very much her character Zoe is confident in her profession but not so confident in her romantic choices. Of course there is a clash of cultures and all the characters have to look at their prejudices and examine the question the title of the movie asks "What's Love Got to do With It "? I liked the clever reference to another rom com movie Love Actually when Zoe titles her new documentary Love Contractually. Emma Thompson plays Zoe's slightly zany but loveable mum Cath who enthusiastically embraces the culture of her neighbours even trying to match up her daughter with a suitable husband. Her childhood friend and next door neighbour Kazim played by Shazad Latif has agreed to marry a young suitable Pakistani bride chosen by his parents. The movie is a cross cultural romance starring Lily James as Zoe a successful documentary maker who decides that her next project will be a study on the success of arranged marriages in contemporary British society. My Review- What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) My Rating - 7/10 Watching this movie I found quite an enjoyable experience an interesting story, pleasant characters plus an insight into cultural differences and prejudices.
