What to view over the weekend, as recommended by Info's entertainment specialists.
Addition
Suggested by Chelsea Hui, entertainment producer.
Roadshow Films.
Although many romantic comedies conclude with the first kiss, Teresa Palmer's new film,Additiondare to pose a far more intriguing question: They fell in love... now what?
The film offers a revitalizing perspective on the challenges that arise when a growing relationship faces the intense pressures of cohabiting and dating with high-functioning anxiety and OCD. It successfully combines an enchantingly romantic atmosphere with a rich, sun-drenched setting, all while being unyielding in its truthful portrayal of the complicated, often unseen efforts involved in mental health.
The narrative centers on Grace Vandenburg, a talented mathematician whose life is structured around an intricate system of counting. From the fruits in the supermarket to the number of bites she takes from her sandwich, Grace's world is a methodical, organized sanctuary designed to ward off fear.
The sequence is thrown off when she encounters Seamus, a gentle and charming stranger, at a supermarket checkout. Following an impulsive act involving a stolen banana (to maintain her balance, of course), there's a spark between them.
However, as their bond grows into something captivating, Grace is confronted with a terrifying decision: keep concealing her instability to uphold the ideal image, or risk allowing Seamus to witness the chaotic, intricate truth behind her routines.
Addition is currently showing in cinemas.

Bridgerton, Season 4, Part 1.

Aching, yearning looks exchanged across spaces, men floating in lakes, heartfelt love confessions, and a sassy upstairs-downstairs relationship that's absolutely delightful.
Season 4: Part One ofBridgerton has fallen, and dear readers, we've never been so eager. Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) is our protagonist this time, entranced by a mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball to start the season. After a delightful chat, the lady leaves the ball at midnight (okay, Cinderella) and Benedict is shocked. He sets out to find the enigmatic woman, flirting with every lady in society in an effort to locate his dream girl.
The thing is, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) is actually a servant, working in a different home for Lady Penwood. However, when circumstances change, Sophie ends up working for the Bridgerton family, and Benedict is captivated by her (though, yes, he is a man and doesn't recognize her because her face was previously hidden behind a fabric mask). As he struggles with his emotions towards both Sophie and the Lady in Silver, the romantic tension and electric chemistry are so compelling that you'll almost forget to shout at your screen "SHE IS RIGHT THERE YOU IDIOT."
You might think that, but the episodes are so visually stunning that you won't truly mind. This season explores the social hierarchy within the ton: from the romance between Benedict and Sophie to the interactions between Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury. It provides a deep background for the characters, leading us into fresh territories, discussions, and topics that have not been previously addressed on the series.
However, above everything else, this season focuses on the intense emotions between these two characters, about selecting genuine love despite significant challenges. It's passionate, tender, and set to become one of the finest seasons of Bridgerton yet.
Episode 1 of Season 4 of Bridgerton is available to watch on Netflix right now.
