Editorial Reviews

Finding You is a romantic comedy set in a beautiful Irish locale. When a young violinist loses her will to play after a tragedy, she decides to take some time off to travel, in search of rediscovering her heart. What she finds is an opportunity to connect with a young man who is still discovering his own sense of self. Finley Sinclair (Rose Reid) is a master musician who, after the death of her brother, has lost her will to play with her heart and soul. After a failed audition for a prestigious New York music academy where she really wants to attend, Finley decides to retrace her brother's footsteps to Ireland to study abroad, staying with the same family as her brother did. On the plane ride to the small coastal Irish village, Finley sits next to teen heartthrob Beckett Rush (Jedidiah Goodacre) who will be filming the latest installment in a medieval fantasy franchise. The two instantly dislike each other, and to make matters worse, they are both headed to the exact same small village. Eventually, Finley discovers that Beckett's bad boy exterior is really just a show for the press, mainly instigated by his own father, who wants him to succeed in the film industry no matter what it takes. Her heart warms as she sees him for who he truly is: a wonderful soul - something that nobody else around the celebrity is able to see. In turn, Beckett finds something uniquely extraordinary about Finley that she wasn't able to see for herself. Written and directed by Brian Baugh (The World We Make, I'm Not Ashamed) there's an inimitable sweetness between the leads that he mines, especially in the Finely character. The romantic details are toned down for teens, or anyone who doesn't want grit in their romance, but they're still fitting for the story being told. There's an abundance of charm at work here, which helps carry a few things that don't work as well. It's possible to momentarily forget about the privilege the two American leads have, despite their complaining about how hard they have it. While the tropes at play may be tired, they're reliable because they work well to tell a story that's as relatable as it is fantastical. The lush Irish landscape offers a lovely backdrop for unfolding the magic that is to take place. The PG rating brings a unique kindness to Finding You, which while pleasant to watch, is missing the passion and realism of what most real adult relationships contain. A sweet piece of beautiful escapist fantasy with plenty of coincidences in place of surprises, this is a charming piece of fluff that capitalizes on tropes more than any original story of its own.
