In Dan Hertzog‘s enchanting romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Paris, ‘Dating Audrey’ unfolds as a heartwarming tale of healing and imagination. Edmund C. Short leads the cast as Pete, a man grappling with heartbreak and loss, who finds solace in an unexpected and delightful way. The film takes a whimsical turn as Pete immerses himself in his late mother’s world through Audrey Hepburn’s classic film ‘Charade’ and Kendal Brenneman’s uncanny portrayal of Hepburn becomes the catalyst for a charming and emotionally resonant journey.
Brenneman’s performance is nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of Audrey Hepburn with remarkable accuracy, and the entire production team, including Alta Sukhbaatar, Aurore Gaulier, Emilie Gary, and Clara Dallier, deserves applause for bringing Hepburn’s iconic look to life. Géraldine Lavie makes a brief appearance as Pete’s ex-girlfriend.
‘Dating Audrey’ is a picturesque delight, not only for its beautiful Parisian locations but also for its skillful cinematography that frames each scene with visual grace. The film’s core message of letting go of the past is conveyed with humor, sweetness, and a touch of cinematic nostalgia, making it a charming and uplifting cinematic experience that pays a heartfelt tribute to the timeless allure of Audrey Hepburn.
