Falling for Figaro

[Opened Oct. 1 in theaters, played Sept. 30 on AARP's Movies for Grownups, and available on various VOD platforms.] Classic arias and gorgeous scenery highlight Gary Lewin's captivating, charming, bittersweet, well-acted, predictable, 115-minute, 2020 romantic comedy in which a talented, smart, unfulfilled, American fund manager (Danielle Macdonald) quits her lucrative job in London and leaves her longtime boyfriend (Shazad Latif) to take singing lessons in the Scottish Highlands from a no-nonsense, curmudgeonly, underachieving opera coach (Joanna Lumley) in the hopes of winning a prestigious Singer of Renown contest to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a successful opera singer and ends up falling for a jealous, handsome, competitive rival (Hugh Skinner) while staying at a quaint hotel run by its supportive owner (Gary Lewis).
