The romantic drama Love of Your Life, starring Margaret Qualley, is now streaming on Prime Video following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Released on October 14, the Amazon MGM Studios production has quickly climbed streaming charts in multiple countries.

What is the story about?

Qualley plays Maya, an emergency room nurse working at a busy hospital in Boston. The narrative begins with Maya meeting Charlie, played by Gabriel Basso, in a setting that initially resembles a romantic comedy. However, the tone shifts as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to impact the hospital and the couple's personal lives.

The film uses a non-linear structure to follow Maya's journey through several years. Key plot elements include:

  • The impact of the pandemic on Maya and Charlie's relationship.
  • Maya's eventual move to Lisbon, Portugal, as an expatriate.
  • A new connection Maya forms with a character named Felix, played by Aaron Pierre.

Who is behind the production?

The film was directed by Rachel Morrison, who previously directed The Fire Inside for Amazon MGM. The screenplay was written by Julia Cox, and the project was produced through the Open Invite Entertainment banner by Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson. The film also features a supporting cast including Patrick Schwarzenegger and Catherine Keener.

Critics have noted the film's emotional weight. Pete Hammond of Deadline observed that while the film can be meandering, Qualley's screen presence makes it "worth watching."

Reports indicate that the movie has reached the number one spot on Prime Video in 41 different countries, including the United States, Brazil, and the Netherlands.
